TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has potentially discovered evidence of the first stars in the universe by detecting a clump of helium in the halo of galaxy GN-z11, which existed when the universe was only about 430 million years old. This finding supports the theory of Population III stars, which are believed to have formed from pristine pockets of gas before the existence of metals. The telescope's ability to observe infrared wavelengths allows it to study the early cosmos and potentially witness the universe's first stars and galaxies.
