pick up James Webb Space Telescope NASA has released an image of the farthest known star in the universe, which is called “Erndel”, about 28 billion light-years from Earth, and this is more than 10 billion light-years away from the farthest star astronomers have seen, and at such enormous distances, experts can usually Capturing only whole galaxies, but by chance allowed them to first observe Earndel with the Hubble Space Telescope and then observe it again with James Webb.
And according to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, by comparing the Hubble image to the image taken by NASA’s new Super Space Telescope, experts were able to find Earndel as a faint red dot below a group of distant galaxies.
The star, whose light took 12.9 billion light-years to reach Earth, is so faint that it would be hard to find without the help of Hubble, which imaged in ultraviolet-visible light compared to infrared light by James Webb.
James Webb’s new image shows the star Earndale as it was about 900 million years after the Big Bang, since light takes time to travel.
The star is named after science fiction character Tolkien Erendell, according to Brian Welch, a doctoral candidate who led a team of astronomers at Johns Hopkins University to discover the distant star.
