James Webb Telescope Finds Evidence Of Giant "Dinosaur" Stars From Early Universe

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers may have found the first real signs of giant, dinosaur-like stars that lived shortly after the Big Bang. These stars were not like the ones we see today.

Scientists believe they were extremely massive, with some weighing up to 10,000 times more than our sun. Just like dinosaurs on Earth, these stars no longer exist. However, they left behind clues that scientists can still detect today, reported Space.com.

These ancient stars are special because they help us understand how supermassive black holes formed so quickly in the early universe. At that time, when the universe was less than a billion years old, some black holes were already millions of times the mass of the Sun.

For a long time, scientists remained a mystery as to how this process happened so quicklyThe strongest evidence for this discovery comes from a galaxy called GS 3073. This galaxy is located about 12.7 billion light-years from Earth.

This means that scientists are observing it as it was about 1.1 billion years after the Big Bang. The chemical composition of this galaxy was studied using the James Webb Space Telescope.During the study, scientists discovered a strange imbalance in the ratio of nitrogen and oxygen.
