NASA’s James Webb Space telescope captures image of most distant star

Live Mint  

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of the most distant star known as ‘Earendel’. In parallel to the legacy of the renowned Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope from NASA has focused its gaze on the farthest star ever identified. While the Hubble initially glimpsed this star, the James Webb Telescope, armed with its specialised camera known as NIRCam, has now zoomed in on it, unveiling Earendel as a super-hot and super-bright B-type star, surpassing the heat of the Sun. The implications of Earendel's size hint at the presence of a potential companion star, a revelation discernible thanks to Webb's ability to stretch light into wavelengths beyond Hubble's range, reported HT Tech.
