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 ...

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.

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.
