  • Scientists say that these massive, brilliant, and previously purely theoretical objects were the creators of the first heavy elements in history — the elements necessary to forge the stars around us today, the planets that orbit them, and life.
  • The newly found galaxy is labelled CR7.
  • The newly found galaxy is three times brighter than the brightest distant galaxy known till now. The name was inspired by 30-year-old Ronaldo, who is known as CR7.
First Generation Stars or Population III Stars
  • These first generation stars are also known as Population III stars — that were born out of the primordial material from the Big Bang.
  • These Population III stars would have been enormous, several hundred or even a thousand times more massive than the Sun, blazing hot, and transient, exploding as supernovae after only about two million years.
