This number is wrong; originally announced in 1891, the figure was corrected in 1910 to 40 ly (60 mas). From 1891 to 1910, it had been thought this was the star with the smallest known parallax, hence the most distant star whose distance was known. Prior to 1891, Arcturus had previously been recorded of having a parallax of 127 mas.
The most luminous known star. Quyllur: 2.1878 [5] 5,540 2023 First red supergiant at cosmological distances. Mothra: 2.091 [6] 5,400 2023 A binary consisting of a yellow supergiant or yellow hypergiant and a Blue supergiant. MACS J1149 Lensed Star 1: 1.49 [7] 4,410 2018 The most distant known star prior to the discovery of Earendel. Warhol 0.94 ...
This number is likely much higher, due to the sheer number of stars needed to be surveyed; a star approaching the Solar System 10 million years ago, moving at a typical Sun-relative 20–200 kilometers per second, would be 600–6,000 light-years from the Sun at present day, with millions of stars closer to the Sun.
Harikane et al.The infinite expanse of space is somehow feeling a little bit bigger now, after an international team of researchers announced they had discovered the most distant astronomical ...
The following are lists of stars. ... MACS J1149 Lensed Star 1 (or Icarus) — second most distant star, 9 billion light years away. [1] [2]
WHL0137-LS, also known as Earendel, is a star located in the constellation of Cetus.Discovered in 2022 by the Hubble Space Telescope, it is the earliest and most distant known star, at a comoving distance of 28 billion light-years (8.6 billion parsecs).
The Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 has the potential to provide a precision of 20 to 40 microarcseconds, enabling reliable distance measurements up to 5,000 parsecs (16,000 ly) for small numbers of stars. [5] [6] The Gaia space mission provided similarly accurate distances to most stars brighter than 15th magnitude. [7]
MACS J1149 Lensed Star 1, also known as Icarus, [note 2] is a blue supergiant star observed through a gravitational lens.It is the seventh most distant individual star to have been detected so far (after Earendel, Godzilla, Mothra, Quyllur, star-1 and star-2), at approximately 14 billion light-years from Earth (redshift z=1.49; comoving distance of 14.4 billion light-years; lookback time of 9. ...
