The video explores the discovery of the most distant galaxy, GN-z11, using the Hubble and Keck 1 telescopes. It explains how redshift helps measure galaxy distances and discusses the challenges in converting redshift to light years. The video also delves into early galaxy formation theories and the search for a hypothetical ninth planet in our solar system, supported by observations of exoplanet HD 106906b. These findings could provide insights into the universe's early stages and the dynamics of our solar system.
