Webb Just Spotted the Universe’s Oldest Star

James Webb Space Telescope just dropped a cosmic bombshell: it snapped the most detailed pic ever of Earendel, the most distant star we’ve ever seen. Not only did we get a peek at its wild blue glow, but scientists think it might have a companion star, too. Thanks to some crazy gravitational lensing, we’re literally looking back in time—like, almost 13 billion years ago. This could be our ticket to spotting the universe’s very first stars! #Science #JamesWebb #Earendel
