The living story

The story so far

Earendel is the most distant individual star ever observed, living in the Sunrise Arc galaxy at redshift 6.2. Its light left when the universe was less than a billion years old, magnified by a cosmic lens of gravity — a single candle seen across nearly all of time.

Happening now

It still burns, impossibly, across 12.9 billion years of dark — or its light does, which is the same thing to everyone watching. The other three Primordial Suns have all begun turning toward it, or toward whatever it is looking at, and it has not explained itself.

What may come

It may already be long dead, its light the only part of it that still exists. Or it may endure, the eldest witness of all — the universe keeps its oldest secrets in the oldest light, and Earendel is not telling.

The Primordial Suns

Four suns, each from a different galaxy — older than the courts’ oldest grudges. They rarely speak. When they do, the Eclipsed listen.
