[edit]

List of the most distant astronomical objects says GRB 090423 is more distant than EGS-zs8-1. The GRB 090423 article sounds like its approximate redshift, and thus distance, was known soon after its 2009 discovery, before the discovery of EGS-zs8-1 in 2015. If so, then how could EGS-zs8-1 have been considered the most distant object, when GRB 090423 was known to be further? That is also consistent with the EGS-zs8-1 article which says it was briefly considered "the most distant and the oldest galaxy observed" ("most distant galaxy", not "most distant object").

What you say is consistent with the records box underneath the text. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:16, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oops sorry, I must have confused 2 different EGS names. Self-reverting.
