#NASA and #jameswebbspacetelescope finds the most distant star #Earendel

It's name means wandering dawn/ personification of the dawn star in the proto Germanic; fitting for both the way we've found it and it being the most distant star from us.

This is so exciting as we've entered into a new era of #spaceexploration
In one hand we being the process of colonization and development, in the other our scientific tools pave the way for our understanding of the universe and ourself.

El telescopio Hubble encontró #Earendel, la estrella más lejana vista hasta ahora a "12.900 millones de años luz. Es decir, para llegar hasta ella habría que pasar 12.900 millones de años viajando a la velocidad de la luz".
Curiosamente, el nombre es un homenaje a un poema de JRR Tolkien, el autor del Señor de los Anillos 😍
