What is the furthest known star from earth?

I've been using a program called Stellarious (or something of the like) and the furthest star, that I could find, would have to be Deneb at 3229 light years away. Now, can someone care to correct me, i'm sort of a star geek :)What is the furthest known star from earth?You mean Stellarium? At any rate, planetarium software like that can't show you all the known stars and galaxies, there are just plain too many. Deneb is not even close to being the furthest known star, in fact it is closer to us than almost every single star in the Universe. You can't trust planetarium software for questions like this.



That said, when taking about the furthest known star, though, you have define what is meant by 'known'. Do you mean the most distant observed single star, or the most distant location known to have stars, or the most distant location that probably has stars?



The most distant single star ever observed was signified by GRB 090423, a gamma ray burst detected in 2009. Ordinarily, stars at that distant cannot be resolved on an individual basis. The reason we could see this one was that it had just reached the point in its life where it started to fuse iron and undergo a supernova explosion. As a result, shortly after the gamma ray burst was generated, the star collapsed and ceased to be star, probably leaving behind a black hole. We know a star was there, but it was only in the process of becoming no longer a star that it released enough energy for us to detect it.What is the furthest known star from earth?
Well, this is a difficult question to answer.



The Hubble Space Telescope has detected single stars in local large galaxies, which is around 3,000,000 light years away.



However, the Hubble Space Telescope has also detected galaxies, which are a cluster of billions and billions of stars, over 10,000,000,000 light years away.What is the furthest known star from earth?That's not really how it works...there are stars you can clearly see millions of light years away, but they have no name...



All you'd be getting is the furthest named star.What is the furthest known star from earth?
