This number is wrong; originally announced in 1891, the figure was corrected in 1910 to 40 ly (60 mas). From 1891 to 1910, it had been thought this was the star with the smallest known parallax, hence the most distant star whose distance was known. Prior to 1891, Arcturus had previously been recorded of having a parallax of 127 mas.

Gravitational lensing unveils historic number of distant stars. Most galaxies, including our Milky Way, contain tens of billions of stars that are readily observable. Even in nearby galaxies, such ...
The most powerful telescope to be launched into space has made history by detecting a record number of new stars in a distant galaxy. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, history's largest and most ...
WHL0137-LS, also known as Earendel, is a star located in the constellation of Cetus.Discovered in 2022 by the Hubble Space Telescope, it is the earliest and most distant known star, at a comoving distance of 28 billion light-years (8.6 billion parsecs).
For the first time ever, the Hubble Space Telescope spotted an individual main sequence star at 9 billion light-years away. That's just a couple billion years after the Big Bang.
BPM 37093 — a diamond star; Cygnus X-1 — X-ray source; EBLM J0555-57Ab — is one of the smallest stars ever discovered. GY Andromedae — chemically peculiar variable star; MACS J1149 Lensed Star 1 (or Icarus) — second most distant star, 9 billion light years away.
