Spotted in a galaxy that existed just 900 million years after the big bang, the primordial star Earendel could offer a rare window into the early universe if confirmed by follow-up studies. Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have spied what they suspect is a single star in a galaxy far, far away—the farthest and most primordial star yet observed. “It’s by far the most distant individual star that we’ve ever seen,” says NASA’s , a co-author of published today in the journal Nature. “This will be our best chance to study what an individual, massive star was like in the early...…Spotted in a galaxy that existed just 900 million years after the big bang, the primordial star Earendel could offer a rare window into the early universe if confirmed by follow-up studies.
