TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered evidence of millions of supermassive stars up to 10,000 times the mass of the sun hiding at the dawn of the universe. These "celestial monsters" could shed light on how our universe was first seeded with heavy elements. Researchers found chemical traces of the gigantic stars inside globular clusters, many of which are among the most ancient to have ever formed in our universe. The researchers will look across more globular clusters in more galaxies to see if their discovery holds elsewhere.
