The James Webb Space Telescope has caught a glimpse of the most distant star known in the universe, which had been announced by scientists using Webb’s predecessor the Hubble Space Telescope only a few months ago.

The star is named Earendel. Fans of Lord of the Rings might recognise the name. A Tolkien character of a half-elf who rose to the skies to become a star. And we named an actual star after the character.
Poignant.
