For millions of years after the Big Bang, the universe was a cold place filled with hydrogen and helium created at the dawn of the universe.*
And then, suddenly, there was light.
For the first time, a team of astronomers think they've detected a signal from some of the first stars that formed less than 180 million years after the Big Bang.*
Two new studies (http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/nature25792) published in the journal Nature this week detail new evidence about when those stars formed after the Big Bang.*

The new work also opens up questions about those early eons after the universe came to be, and may even reveal cracks in our understanding of physics.* Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/02/28/first-stars-in-the-universe-study-may-change-physics/)
