James Webb Telescope Finds Evidence of Giant Stars

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope found clues about giant stars that lived shortly after the Big Bang.

These stars were much bigger than the Sun, up to 10,000 times its size.

They didn't live long, only about 250,000 years, but they left behind special chemicals that scientists can still see.

These chemicals, especially a lot of nitrogen, helped scientists figure out that these stars existed.

The stars likely turned into black holes directly, without exploding like normal stars.

These black holes then merged to form even bigger black holes.

The galaxy they studied, called GS 3073, is very far away, and we see it as it was a long time ago.

This discovery helps us understand how supermassive black holes formed so quickly in the early universe.
