"Webb Telescope Discovers Astonishing Secrets of the Farthest Star"

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has provided new insights into Earendel, the most distant star seen in the universe so far. It has revealed that Earendel might have a cooler, redder companion star, which was only detectable by Webb due to the expansion of the universe stretching its light to longer wavelengths. Studying Earendel is valuable for understanding the origins and evolution of the universe. The star is a massive B-type star, more than double the temperature of the sun and about 1 million times brighter. Webb's future research could uncover more information about its brightness, temperature, and composition.
