BRI 1335-0417 is a high-redshift spiral galaxy, quasar and a hyperluminous infrared galaxy located in the Constellation Virgo. The galaxy has a redshift of 4.4, meaning its light took 11.934 billion years to reach Earth, when the universe was 1.3 billion years old, and its present comoving distance is about 24.06 billion light-years. It is discovered by ALMA, led by Takafumi Tsukui and his colleague, professor Satoru Iguchi from SOKENDAI, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, in May 2021. [1]
