As Bob Marley (I think) said, some people are so poor, all they have is money.

Great book, though one I wish Iโ€™d never read. Some things stay in your head for a long time.

A fantastic, slow-burning book with almost unbearable tension. Loved it!

A field of thousands of small galaxies of various shapes and colors on the black background of space. A bright, foreground star with diffraction spikes is at lower left. Near the image center, a tiny white box outlines a region and two diagonal lines lead to a box in the upper right. Within the box is a banana-shaped blob that is blueish-red in one half and distinctly red in the other half. An arrow points to the redder portion and is labeled โ€œJADES GS z 14 โ€“ 0โ€.

Most distant object known to humanity.
Found by JWST, JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant galaxy ever discovered. It's located 13.6 billion light years from us, and since it takes time for light to travel, we see it as it was only 290 million years after the Big Bang.
