This was the first time since 1964 that something other than a quasar held the record for being the most distant object in the universe. [132] [135] [136] [133] [130] [137] PC 1247–3406. Quasar. 1991 − 1997.
The most luminous known star. Quyllur: 2.1878: 5,540 2023 First red supergiant at cosmological distances. Mothra: 2.091: 5,400 2023 A binary consisting of a yellow supergiant and a B-type star. MACS J1149 Lensed Star 1: 1.49: 4,410 2018 The most distant known star prior to the discovery of Earendel. SDSS J1229+1122: 0.000127 17 2013

This Webb image shows a massive galaxy cluster called WHL0137-08, and at the right, an inset of the most strongly magnified galaxy known in the universe’s first billion years called the Sunrise Arc.
The Local Bubble also contains the neighboring G-Cloud, which contains the stars Alpha Centauriand Altair. In the galactic context, the Local Bubble is a small part of the Orion Arm, which contains most stars that we can see without a telescope. The Orion Arm is one of the spiral armsof our Milky Way galaxy.
The cosmic distance ladder (also known as the extragalactic distance scale) is the succession of methods by which astronomers determine the distances to celestial objects. A direct distance measurement of an astronomical object is possible only for those objects that are "close enough" (within about a thousand parsecs) to Earth.
Up until the discovery of JADES-GS-z13-0 in 2022 by the James Webb Space Telescope, GN-z11 was the oldest and most distant known galaxy yet identified in the observable universe, [7] having a spectroscopic redshift of z = 10.957, which corresponds to a proper distance of approximately 32 billion light-years (9.8 billion parsecs).
Like our home galaxy, the newly discovered ceers-2112 is a barred spiral galaxy, and it’s now the most distant of its kind ever observed. The bar at the center of the structure is made of stars.
