This incredible distant star allows astronomers to learn more about the formation and evolution of stars in the early Universe. <br /> <br />Credit/Courtesy: <br /> <br />Directed by: Mathias Jäger <br />Visual design and editing: Nico Bartmann <br />Written by: Mathias Jäger <br />Images: ESA/Hubble, NASA <br />Videos: ESA/Hubble, L.
