    Ancient Gas Cloud may be a Relic from the Death of First Stars

    January 9, 2016, Categories  Astronomy/Space

    Snapshot from a simulation of the first stars in the Universe, showing how the gas cloud might have become enriched with heavy elements. The image shows one of the first stars exploding, producing an expanding shell of gas (top) which enriches a nearby cloud, embedded inside a larger gas filament (centre). The image scale is 3,000 light years across, and the colourmap represents gas density, with red indicating higher density.
