Ancient Stars Discovered in the Core of Our Galaxy

Ancient stars, born during the Cosmic Dawn, have been discovered in the center of the Milky Way through the Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS). These stars, which likely formed less than a billion years after the Big Bang, have low metal content and chaotic orbits, but still orbit the galactic center. The findings provide insights into the early phases of the Milky Way and offer exciting prospects for further discoveries about the first stars in our galaxy.
