Webb’s vision has revealed more details about Earendel. Now we know it's more than twice as hot and about a million times more luminous than our Sun!
Based on colors observed with Webb, astronomers think Earendel may have a companion star, too: go.nasa.gov/3Ovd9iJ

Webb Reveals Colors of Earendel, Most Distant Star Ever Detected
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has followed up on observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of the farthest star ever detected in the very distant universe, within the first billion years after the big bang.Isabelle Yan (NASA)
Hubble broke records by observing the farthest star ever detected, Earendel!
Thanks to a lucky cosmic alignment, the gravity of a galaxy cluster between us & Earendel magnified the star’s light: go.nasa.gov/47pbT9w
Now, we know more about it with @NASAWebb on the job! ⬇️

Record Broken: Hubble Spots Farthest Star Ever Seen

So, this is … disastrous.
mastodon.social/@packetcat@ten…
Mastodon.social is adding full text. That's not what concerns me right now.
The problem is that "get your account indexed in full-text search" is *the same option* as "have your account listed in 'search for account by name'".
The result is that people are now turning this option off en masse. (Even before the option rolls out, meaning if Eugen changes his mind, the damage will be done). It will soon be basically impossible to find an account

one of the fundamental problems with the full-text search feature in the upcoming Mastodon version 4.2.0 is that it overloads an option.Ten Forward
