farthest star discovered "MACS J1149+2223 Lensed Star 1" or "Icarus"

The farthest star discovered so far is known as "MACS J1149+2223 Lensed Star 1" or "Icarus." This star was observed using the Hubble Space Telescope and was found in the galaxy cluster MACS J1149+2223, located about 5 billion light-years away from Earth."Icarus" is not a star within our own Milky Way galaxy but is actually a blue supergiant star in a galaxy located much farther away. Its light was magnified and lensed by the gravitational effects of the massive galaxy cluster situated between "Icarus" and Earth.This discovery of "Icarus" in 2018 pushed the boundaries of our ability to observe and study individual stars at such vast distances. The study of "Icarus" and other distant stars helps astronomers better understand the properties and evolution of stars across cosmic distances, providing valuable insights into the history and nature of the universe
