Hubble spots most distant single star ever seen, at a record distance of 28 billion lightyears
Through a fortuitous alignment of distant galaxy with a massive foreground cluster of galaxies, astronomers from among other institutes the cosmic Dawn Center discovered a single star across most of the entire observable Universe. This is the farthest detection of a single star ever. The star may be up to 500 times more massive than the Sun. The discovery has been published today in the scientific journal Nature.

Hubble ser den fjerneste enkelte stjerne nogensinde, i en rekordafstand på 28 milliarder lysår
Ved et kosmisk sammentræf, hvor en tung galaksehob ligger i sigtelinjen mod en fjern galakse, har astronomer fra blandt andet Cosmic Dawn Center opdaget en enkelt stjerne på tværs af det meste af det observerbare Univers. Dette er den fjerneste observation af en enkelt stjerne nogensinde. Stjernen kan være op til 500 gange tungere end Solen. Opdagelsen er publiceret i Nature i dag.
