Back in the early days of the cosmos, there were no stars to light up the universe yet.
These early generations of stars, known as Population III stars, were crucial to shaping the universe we know today .
They were nothing like stars like our sun, as the conditions of the universe were totally different at the time of their births billions of years ago .
NASA ’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can’t reach back to just a billion years after the universe began, in the epoch of reionization.
JWST has spotted a possible Population III star from less than a billion years after the big bang.
This star was only visible thanks to a gravitational lens made by the universe.
It's a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, but with the many other modern stars around it’s still a lot more work to be done.
Some simulations find pristine gas flowing into the outskirts of big galaxies could stimulate Pop III star formation.
