Webb Spots the Most Distant Star in the Universe

In its latest newsworthy achievement, the James Webb Space Telescope
has produced images of Earendel, the most distant known star in the
universe. The images arrived following the announcement of the star's
discovery earlier this year by Webb's predecessor, the Hubble Space
Telescope. ArendelThe new JWST imagery captured Arendel, the most
distant known star in the universe. Can you spot it? (Credit: NASA).

According to NASA, the enigmatic Earendel "is so far away that its
light has taken 12.9 bn years to reach Earth," giving astronomers
a glimpse at how it looked when the universe was less than a tenth of
its current age. Previously, the smallest objects that have been
observed at comparable distances were entire clusters of stars that
astronomers believe to be embedded within some of the universe's
earliest galaxies.

The discovery was made with the help of gravitational lensing observed
in deep field imagery obtained by Hubble, and due to its great
distance, Earendel appears only faintly in the new Webb images.

The previous single-star record holder was also detected by Hubble
back in 2018, hailing from the universe as it existed when it was just
4 bn years old.
