MACS1149-JD1 (also known as JD1 and PCB2012 3020) is a young galaxy that is known for being one of the farthest known galaxies from Earth. It was discovered in 2014 and confirmed in 2018.[6] The JD1 galaxy is at a redshift of about z=9.11,[1] or about 13.28 billion ly (4.07 billion pc) away from Earth meaning that it formed when the universe was around 500 million years old.[4][7]

The carbon and neon abundances of JD1 are below the solar abundance ratio. The under-abundance of carbon suggests recent star formation where a Type II supernova enriched the interstellar medium (ISM) with oxygen, but intermediate mass stars have not yet enriched the ISM with carbon.[8]

Due to a lack of old population stars detected, JD1 is probably a young galaxy.[8]
