Hubble Space Telescope Detects Most Distant Star Ever Seen
The Hubble Space Telescope's record of impressive finds continues. On March 30, 2022, scientists announced that the powerful astronomical observatory had detected the light of a star located about 28 billion light-years away — making it the farthest individual star seen to date. The previous record-holder, Icarus, lies at a relatively "close" distance of 14 billion light-years from Earth.
