What can aLIGO tell us about the earliest stars? Read today’s astrobite to find out!
Have we found evidence for the first generation of stars? This paper details observations made of CR7, one of the brightest observed high redshift galaxies
The first stars may have formed in clusters, rather than in isolation as previously thought. What would these clusters look like?
