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.

Astronomers Observe Interiors of Ancient Galaxies
"This is the most distant detection ever of this kind of emission from a 'normal' galaxy, seen less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang."

Astronomers spot oldest, furthest galaxy
Astronomers using a complex system of super telescopes have caught a glimpse of what is likely the most distant, and thus oldest, galaxy ever seen -- some 13.3 billion light years from Earth.
