The James Webb Space Telescope managed to record images of the most distant star. These images can provide important data to astronomers.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, the desired star named Earendel was discovered for the first time by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2020. The distance of this star from Earth is about 28 billion light years and before the launch of the James Webb telescope, it was only seen as a small bubble. Now the Webb telescope has been able to publish detailed images of this star, which is also fully visible in the type of galaxy in which this star is located.
In the image published by James Webb, there is also a galaxy cluster, which acts as a magnifying glass due to its greatness and shows the time of distant galaxies with the breakdown of space. This cluster named WHL is similar to the Sunrise galaxy cluster where the target star is located. Earendel is able to do the desired magnification amazingly well. According to astronomers, this feature, which is called a gravitational lens, has a factor of 4000 in this star. It has also been said that the life of this star began one billion years after the Big Bang, and its study will provide scientists with a lot of information about early stars.
