The video discusses the discovery of the farthest individual star, located 12.9 billion light years away, detected through gravitational lensing. This phenomenon magnified the host galaxy into the Sunrise Arc, allowing astronomers to identify the star Arrendel. Arrendel is estimated to be at least 50 times the mass of our sun and millions of times brighter. Studying this star provides insights into the early universe, as it existed when the universe was less than a billion years old.
