James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Universe's Farthest Known Star

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed new information about Earendel, the most distant known star in the universe. Earendel is a massive B-type star, more than twice as hot as our sun and about a million times more luminous. The star was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope and is located 28 billion light-years away from Earth due to the expansion of the universe. JWST's observations also provide insights into the Sunrise Arc galaxy, including a star-forming region and a stable star cluster. The discoveries open up new possibilities for studying the early universe and the first generation of stars.
