  36. Impact of the first stars • the first stars in the universe began forming around 50 million years after the big bang • they were exceptionally massive and bright, bringing an earlier end to the cosmic “dark ages” than previously thought • when they exploded as supernovae they seeded the universe with heavy elements essential for planets and life • they kick-started the cosmogonic sequence which eventually formed galaxies, clusters and superclusters SciDAC 6-30-05 M.
