  • Spectroscopic confirmation of a massive quiescent galaxy, at z = 4.658, just 1.25 Gyr after the Big Bang, 
  • They used deep continuum observations from JWST NIRSpec
  • It formed its stellar population over a 200 Myr period, approximately 600 − 800 Myr after the Big Bang (z = 7.3 ± 0.2), before quenching at z = 6.7 ± 0.3

Redshift estimates:
