Scientists Reveal First Stars Were 100 Times Larger Than Our Sun

Washington (dbTechno) - Space scientists from the United States and Japan have come out and stated just how the first stars were born. The first stars, according to researchers, were 100 times larger than the Sun.

The first stars, now known as protostars, were made from small grains of dust, as well as gases, which were remnants of the Big Bang.

The Big Bang is known for its huge explosion, which caused the universe to form some 13 billion years ago.

The scientists have revealed a new computer model which shows just how the stars were formed after the Big Bang.

The protostars were believed to be made of hydrogen, helium, as well as dust.

Dark matter caused them to form together following the Big Bang. The first stars were 100 times larger than our son, but one-tenth the mass.

The belief is that protostars did not last very long, as they burned in small groups for a billion years before dying.

Their study has been published in the journal Science.
