Revealing a Newfound Galaxy is my interpretation of what the faraway GN-z11 galaxy might look like. With the pending launch this October of the James Webb Space Telescope, I am interested in what it may reveal. GN-z11 is the oldest and most distant galaxy, 31.96 billion light years away from Earth, In 2020 a team in Beijing reported that over a five-hour observation, they noticed brief, luminous spike of ultraviolet light. It may have been the afterglow of a gamma-ray burst, produced when very massive stars collapse.
