How to see far away stars

Hi Spacecats, I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and welcome to my channel, where you can find all things space, astronomy and physics! In this video, I talk about the newly discovered star Earendel, at a redshift of 6 this is potentially the furthest away resolved star, ever to be observed!

I’m simply amazed at the amount of information that we are able to gain on an object that’s so far away

Hello from the future, when we have z 16 galaxies. I was going to ask a question but I found out here: "The largest-observed redshift, corresponding to the greatest distance and furthest back in time, is that of the cosmic microwave background radiation; the numerical value of its redshift is about z = 1089"

So glad I stumbled upon this channel at 4am. Thanks for this. I'm left speechless evrytime I think about the stars and our Sun.

Why so few subs tho? A smart cute cat lover host talking about space. Thanks YT for introducing me to this gem, subbed.

You're in YouTube international spotlight 🎉

The red shift calculation must assume it is traveling faster.
How can you assume that?

when hubble came along they were'nt expecting to see anything instead it was galaxies then large gaps then more galaxies suspect webb will be same

Will be great to see what we’ll find with the James Webb telescope

Great content, a good video
Thank u

Every star you see as far away any of them

If the star ain't there anymore, how can we still see it's light?

I wonder if this is the first astronomical object whose name is inspired by Tolkien's lore. Great video 😀

What is different? Science for one and Medicine for another both close yet so very far apart! I've seen 'em all & no one but the excellent: renowned DrMaggieLieu has come has come even reletively close to restoring? You are the best {in mine auld eyes ie:} :-}

this is all theory without any solid tangible proof.

star is a her? everything good in universe is female. soo sexiest against men. coming from a female scientist I expected it.
