I made an older video (which kind of sucks) explaining how the universe expanded and why it's 92 billion light years across even though it's 13.8 billion years old, so I think you should watch the explanation from Fermi Lab instead:

For those not in the know, Eärendil was the only Man to reach Valinor and live, in Tolkien's universe. He carried the last of the Silmarils, probably the most important objects in the legendarium, and convinced the Valar to intervene in the war that was raging in Middle-Earth. He was set into the sky in his ship and with the Silmaril to become a star.

"I give you the light of Earendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out."

J.R.R. Tolkien

(Not the exact spelling I know, but close)

"The night is still young." That's great. Thanks for doing what you do.

Magnificent news. Thank you for this. I like the delayed intro you've been doing. Dropping straight into the topic for a few sentences and then acknowledging the audience is a good stylistic choice, in my humble opinion. Please keep up the good work.

When I got to the part where you talk about gravitational lensing, the storyteller in me kicked in.

In the far post-apocalyptic future the people look back at our time as a Golden Age telling stories to each other of, "How The Ancients, in their power and glory made the sky itself into their telescope, to better understand the mysteries of the universe."

Thanks for all these videos, and keep up the good work.

Scientist 1: "How are you going to call the FIRST stars that formed in the universe ?"
Scientist 2: "Population THREE stars"
Scientist 1: "Are you going to call it like that to confuse people ?"
Scientist 2: "Yes"

I find it fascinating that we were technically using a telescope the size of half the observable universe to see that star

Anton stays in one place, but his mind roams the universe! From micro-biology to the farthest stars and back to our solar system.

Thanks for your unending curiosity and your willingness to explain it all to us, Anton!

It's so cool that Earendel is named after a Tolkien character. I love those books

28, 000, 000, 000 light years is 164, 601, 510, 449, 000, 000, 000, 000 miles, or 264, 900, 453, 232, 000, 000, 000, 000 kilometers. That's a lot of money in gas alone, let alone food and lodging.

As always, thank you. This was a great video with a great perspective of the distance of the star.

It's almost impossible to comprehend 100, 000 light years per second ... that would be 100, 000 times 31, 536, 000 times 186, 282 miles every second.

I watch everyday. You are my conservative backstop Anton. You know all about the click bait channels with aliens in every dimension etc., etc. I LOVE your skepticism in science. It’s either observable, repeatable, and verified by proper peer review or it is rubbish. Science fiction (which I love) is free of these boring old protocols. Do please carry on Sir. I am an ancient artist. I truly believe that science and art are 2 sides of the same coin. The power to observe. Thanks for all you do to educate folks in such a superlative fashion.

I wish we could retrieve Hubble and place it in a museum. It serves us well and found this star last year.
