This may be the daughter of one of our universe's 1st stars. Scientists call it an 'ancient immigrant'
SDSS J0715-7334, identified by Kevin Schlaufman in 2014 and later by Alexander Ji in 2025, is a pristine star formed from gas enriched by a Population III supernova. It has only 0.005% of the metal content found in our Sun, making it the most ancient star observed. This discovery enhances our understanding of early stellar evolution.
