Webb's NIRCam also picked up on other notable details about the Sunrise Arc, spotting both young star-forming regions and older established star clusters as small as 10 light-years across.

The star is in the Sunrise Arc galaxy and was only observable because a massive galaxy cluster called WHL0137-08 that exists between Earth and Earendel magnified the distant object. Advertisement ...

Observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope of Earendel – the farthest star ever detected – reveal a massive B-type star that is more than twice as hot as our sun and a million times ...

The Sunrise Arc is located near the end of one of the spikes from the bright central star, at around the five o’clock position. A zoomed-in version of the image shows the Arc and Earendel within t.
