Earendel - the most distant star
The star, which the research team has dubbed EARENDEL, is part of the HL SUNRISE ARC galaxy. Now, gravitational lensing enables astronomers to see this distant star. Both HUBBLE and WEBB were able to detect Earendel EARENDEL due to its lucky alignment behind a wrinkle in spacetime created by a massive galaxy cluster. The galaxy cluster lies between us and Earendel. Indeed, it’s so massive that it warps the fabric of space itself, which produces a MAGNIFYING EFFECT. This allows astronomers to look through the cluster like a MAGNIFYING GLASS.
emitted the light we now see some 12.9 billion years ago. So it exists in a realm of space just 900 MILLION years after the BIG BANG. Earendel, is a star in the constellation of CETUS. And the distance from #EARTH to #EARENDEL star is 8.6 BILLION PARSECS.
