SMRTR summary
Scientists have discovered the first direct evidence of "monster stars" that existed shortly after the Big Bang, solving a 20-year mystery about how supermassive black holes formed so early in cosmic history. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers found a distinctive chemical signature in galaxy GS 3073 that proves these ancient stars were 1,000 to 10,000 times more massive than our sun before collapsing directly into supermassive black holes.
