"The newly detected star is so far away that its light has taken 12.9 billion years to reach Earth, appearing to us as it did when the universe was only 7 percent of its current age, at redshift 6.2."
Dang cool. Italics mine. "The newly detected star is so far away that its light has taken 12.9 billion years to reach Earth, appearing to us as it did when the universe was only 7 percent of its current age, at redshift 6.2."

one of the funnier stories a text book contained when I was teaching English to insurance brokers years ago was of a court case in the States. Went something like this:
Counsel for the defense interrogating the state coroner: "How can you be sure the victim was dead?" Coroner "Because his brain was in a glass jar on my desk" Counsel "But technically, he may still have been alive?" Coroner "Well I guess he may still be alive and practising law somewhere."
and the tech? hardware prices dropping and the software is mind bottling
For future use no doubt?

yep i like to use a brown glass and store at room temp it's a lot easier than diddling with cryogenics, vacuums, lead shielding and it works for other important stuff
software? it looks like there are the usual suspects in photo processing, sfw would be right at home i'll probably wait until the barriers to entry are in a handy app that willie nelson could use you know who told me that wrangling light from that distance requires patience and special bum salve so i'd probably have to go out into the everglades at night and lose the pants i've already decided on what to name my first discovery the kindred hobo nebula! once this gets rolling i say let the NFTs flow!
