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 galaxy 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 abundance it JD1 is below the star abundance ratio. The Carbon abundance ratio is suggestive of recent star formation and type-ll supernova has enriched the interstellar medium (ISM) with Oxygen but intermediate mass stars have not yet enrich the interstellar medium with Carbon.[8]

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