"The Evolution of Cosmic Distance Records"

TL;DR Summary
The cosmic distance record has progressed over time, from approximating the distance to the Moon over 2000 years ago to the recent discovery of JWST's JADES-GS-z13-0, the most distant galaxy known as of 2022. The progression includes the discovery of Andromeda as an extragalactic object in 1923, the identification of OJ 287 at 3.5 billion light-years away in the 1960s, and the recent record-breaking galaxy JADES-GS-z13-0. Future advancements may involve probing clumps of neutral hydrogen to explore even farther distances.
