JWST Discovered The Farthest Star Ever Seen!

Season 9 Episode 27

With the James Webb Space Telescope we’re starting to be able to see the first galaxies. If only we could see the individual stars in those galaxies we could learn so much more. Well, now using this one weird trick we can do exactly that. Or at least we have one lonely star at the end of the universe. But it won’t be lonely for long.
