Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>PARIS (Sputnik) \u2014 The Hubble Space Telescope has found the most distant individual star ever seen whose light needed 12.9 billion years to reach Earth, the European Space Agency (ESA) said.<\/p>\n

“The NASA\/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has established an extraordinary new benchmark: detecting the light of a star that existed within the first billion years after the Universe\u2019s birth in the Big Bang (at a redshift of 6.2) \u2014 the most distant individual star ever seen,” ESA said in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The star, which is called Earendel, appears to the scientists how it looked when the universe was 7 percent of its current age.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to team member Jose Maria Diego of the Instituto de F\u00edsica de Cantabria in Spain, \u201ccombining observations from Hubble and Webb will allow us to also learn about microlenses in the galaxy cluster, which could include exotic objects like primordial black holes.\u201d Hubble, which is a joint project of NASA and ESA, is one of the biggest space telescopes in the world that was launched in 1990.[2 image]<\/p>\n
