NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope spots Earendel, the most distant star in the universe
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope confirmed Earendel, the most distant star, shining just one billion years after the Big Bang. Gravitational lensing magnified this massive B-type star, offering unprecedented insights into the early universe's star and galaxy formation. Webb's observations also revealed a possible companion star and detailed structures within Earendel's host galaxy.
