About MoM-z14
The light we see from it set out 13.5 billion years ago, when the universe was 0.283 billion years old (redshift 14.44).
The map lists it as a galaxy and shows it at the scale of the large-scale universe, drawn on the supergalactic plane.
The most distant spectroscopically confirmed galaxy (Naidu et al. 2025): we see it 283 million years after the Big Bang.
