As Saturn approaches its equinox, its rings will vanish from view. The planet's rings have "disappeared" before, during the last Saturnian equinox in 2009.
We live in the Milky Way galaxy, an immense, flat, spiral galaxy surrounded by a massive halo of stars and dark matter. The disk of stars, gas, and dust in which the Sun resides is fully 120,000 light years across; a soul-crushing distance on the human scale. In the middle of the disk is the central bulge, a lozenge-shaped hub of stars.
Staring at the same spot in the sky for the better part of a day, Hubble Space Telescope aided by a quirk of gravity that can massively magnify distant objects may have spotted the most distant star ever seen… by a huge margin. If confirmed, the star is nearly 13 billion light years away, and we see it as it was when the Universe was only 900 million years old.
If confirmed, this is the farthest star in the Universe ever seen by humans.
