James Webb Space Telescope finds 1st evidence of 'dinosaur-like' stars in the early universe

"A bit like dinosaurs on Earth — they were enormous and primitive. And they had short lives, living for just a quarter of a million years."

NASA's James Webb Telescope Just Uncovered “Dinosaur-Like” Stars So Massive They Make Our Sun Look Tiny

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have made a remarkable discovery, revealing the first evidence of enormous, short-lived stars from the early universe. These “dinosaur-like” stars, with masses up to 10,000 times that of the Sun, likely collapsed into supermassive black holes, leaving behind key chemical clues that could help explain the formation of these cosmic giants. The discovery was made while studying the galaxy GS 3073, wh…

Astronomers see monster stars from the cosmic dawn

Artist’s concept of a massive star. Did monster stars create the supermassive black holes astronomers see in the very early universe? A new study has found evidence that they did. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of international researchers have discovered chemical fingerprints of gigantic primordial stars that were among the first to form after the Big Bang.

Astronomers Uncover Direct Evidence of Supermassive Stars in the Early Universe

Astronomers utilizing the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have identified the chemical signature of a protostar with a mass between 1,000 and 10,000 times that of the Sun in GS 3073, an early galaxy with a redshift of 5.55 (approximately 1 billion years post-Big Bang). A primordial supermassive star in the early universe. Image credit: [...] The post Astronomers Uncover Direct Evidence of Supermassive Stars in the Early Universe appeared…

Astronomers Find Direct Evidence for Supermassive Stars in Early Universe

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have discovered chemical fingerprints of primordial stars weighing between 1,000 and 10,000 times the mass of the Sun in GS 3073, an early galaxy at redshift of 5.55 (one billion years after the Big Bang).
