Earendel: JWST Suggests the Most Distant Star May Be a Star Cluster
Earendel, the farthest object ever seen, was first thought to be a single massive star from the early universe. New findings from JWST suggest it may instead be a star cluster, with many stars grouped together. Scientists used gravitational lensing to spot Earendel, which made its light appear thousands of times brighter.

NASA’s Hubble Spots Oldest, Most Distant Star Ever Seen
Astronomers have discovered the farthest and oldest star ever seen, named Earendel. It shone about 900 million years after the Big Bang, and is estimated to be at least 50 times the mass of the Sun. Icarus, another blue supergiant star discovered by Hubble, held the previous record.
