Webb Telescope Discovers Monster Stars and Ancient Galaxies at the Dawn of Time.

The James Webb Space Telescope has provided evidence of the presence of supermassive stars in the early Universe, with masses up to 10,000 Suns. The evidence comes from the study of globular clusters, which contain stars with similar chemical properties, suggesting they were born from the same cloud of gas. These clusters exhibit chemical abundance ratios that vary from star to star, which can be explained by hydrogen burning at extremely high temperatures in the cores of massive stars. The researchers hope to obtain more data on early galaxies from JWST to identify these early supermassive stars and resolve other mysteries, such as the formation of supermassive black holes.
