Thanks to the space telescope hubble was found the farthest star we have discovered to date, is 14 billion light years from Earth, 14 billion light years are more years than the time that the universe itself has existed , so it might seem impossible that the light of this galaxy has reached us, has not had time.

The explanation is that the universe is expanding and when the star produced the light the distance was much shorter, so it only needed 9 billion years.

They have called it ICARO and it is the farthest star ever studied, it is located in a spiral galaxy, so distant that we would have to travel more than half of the observable universe if we wanted to reach it is a much larger, massive, hot type of star and possibly thousands of times brighter than the sun, it is a super blue giant, it should be noted that with current technology it would be impossible to have detected it but thanks to a very powerful gravitational anomaly generated by a cluster of galaxies, its brightness has been naturally amplified and so we could find it

Everything is possible in the universe noone knows the mystery of universe and freaking behaviour of the nature.

That's like saying that you do not care about yourself or something, I assure you that at some point you will care
