James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Universe's Farthest Known Star

TL;DR Summary
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.
