Study Finds First Generation of the Universe’s Stars Burst and Ejected Heavy Elements into Neighboring Galaxies

The very first stars evolved into the universe as enormously bright aggregations of helium and hydrogen gas several hundred million years following the Big Bang. Inside the cores of these first stars, extreme thermonuclear reactions produced the first heavier elements, such as iron, carbon, and zinc.
