Introduction

Lee Billings: What's super duper bright and hundreds, or even thousands of times heavier than our entire solar system? Yet it's so hard to find that it has yet to be directly seen. The answer is a population three star - astronomer lingo for the very first stars in the universe. Lee: These massive stars were also foundational for everything else we see in the universe today. We're talking about them today because scientists may have kind of sorta seen them for thevery first time.
