In the team's more thorough simulations, which include magnetic fields and other factors, these early stars are limited to about 65 solar masses. "In 5,000 years, the mass of the most massive star ...

Back in the early days of the cosmos, there were no stars to light up the universe yet. At that time known as the “dark ages,” a few hundred thousand years after the big bang, only the very ...

which occurred about 13.8 billion years ago. But scientists are still in the dark about how the mass of this first generation of stars was distributed. Modeling of stars in the early universe ...

Years after ripping stars to shreds ... "If you look years later, a very, very large fraction of these black holes that don’t have radio emission at these early times will actually suddenly ...

Nestled in a gaseous cocoon, a primordial cloud is depicted in a computer simulation—an early star-forming region, just 100 million years after the big bang, beyond what telescopes can see.
