Scientists nicknamed it Earendel, from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning “morning star”
How utterly Euro-centric and racist of those oppressive, unawake scientists.

“...900 million years after the Big Bang...”
Not 901 million years or 899 million years. No it’s exactly 900 million years.
And we have 8 more years before the planet is destroyed by the combustion engine and Piltdown Man.

It’s called the Pelosi star
To: Red Badger
Tolkien also availed himself of the name. :^) Thanks RB.

When you wish upon a star...that star has been dead for a millions years. Like your dreams.

The actual measured redshift of the Balmer line from the Nature paper was 6.2 ± 0.1. This means that at the time the light left the star all the objects in the universe were about 6.2 times closer together with a 10% error. The time estimate should be 900 million years with a 10% error (890 - 990 million years) after the Big Bang. Good catch.
To: SunkenCiv
I had the same thought...

In the meantime we are being treated to the gentle ministrations of Verbal Beatdown Karen.

I have the three books on Audible read by Rob Inglis that are
excellent...listen to them every other year or so...

Thanks, good to get a recommendation, the titles on Amazon have some consistent problems in the critical reviews.

Is it just Rob, or is it a dramatization “full cast” recording? The way Amazon links its reviews is like old people do the nasty.

Does that make us nerds if we automatically knew the name was a Tolkien character?

Oh, I don’t think there was any risk that we wouldn’t be considered nerds anyway. ;^)
