TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has potentially discovered evidence of the first generation of stars, known as Population III stars, in the distant galaxy GN-z11. This discovery also includes evidence of a supermassive black hole at the heart of GN-z11, shedding light on how galaxies in the early universe were able to grow. The findings suggest that distant galaxies like GN-z11 were more adept at forming massive stars than galaxies in the modern universe, and the research has been accepted for publication in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics and Nature.
