Primordial behemoths, Population III - universe's first generation of stars, very different from modern, or Population I stars, formed from pristine hydrogen and helium gas, before heavier elements were distributed throughout the universe by supernovae and powerful stellar winds, bigger and hotter than modern stars. Most Population III stars are expected to have lived and died between about 100 and 400 million years after the Big Bang, after which there would have been enough heavy elements in the cosmos to form stars that are more similar to the ones we see today.

We may have just glimpsed the universe's first stars

A galaxy spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope, known as Hebe, that existed just 400 million years after the big bang appears to contain extremely pure and young stars

Marco Rubio on Monday: “Imagine an Iran that, instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars, supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran.”

Donald Trump on Wednesday: “It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things… We have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country.”

Irony is dead.

So as of yesterday I am retired, had a 37+ year career working in #NASA human spaceflight, Space Shuttle and then the #Orion spacecraft. I set my retirement date in the hope that the #Artemis 2 mission, Orion’s first crewed flight, would have completed by then but Feb launch was delayed and by “cosmic coincidence” Artemis 2 finally launched yesterday - my final day. Very proud of all my colleagues and all the hard work we’ve done to get to this point. Onward to the #moon - and beyond. Ad astra.
