August 11, 2022

The James Webb Infrared Space Observatory has obtained a new image of the "star at the edge of the universe" - the so-called object "Earendil" (Earendel). It is the farthest observable star from Earth discovered to date. The light of Eärendil has been traveling to us for 12.9 billion years. Its mass is 50 times greater than the sun, and its radiance is millions of times brighter.
