According to NASA and various scientific sources, the furthest individual star from Earth is Earendel, also known as GN-z11. It is a star that existed within the first billion years after the universe’s birth in the Big Bang. Its light took 13.4 billion years to reach Earth, making it the farthest individual star ever seen to date.

Distance: 13.4 billion light-years from Earth

Age: 13.4 billion years old (when the universe was only 7% of its current age)

Lol. There was another link that said 28 billion. I guess it depends on who you ask
