CL1358+62 is an infant galaxy that was the farthest object in the observable universe for a few years. It had a record redshift of z=4.92 and was discovered on July 31, 1997 by M. Franx and G. Illingsworth. It is located approximately 26 billion light years from Earth. Its redshift was measured by the Keck Telescope shortly after its discovery. It remained the farthest known object in the observable universe until March 1, 2004, when Abell 1835 IR1916, with a redshift of z=10.0 and a distance of 13.2 billion light years, was discovered by a team of French and Swiss astronomers using the Very Large Telescope.
