It suggests that the first generation of stars in the universe formed around this time. A study describing the findings, 12 years in the making, is published in Nature.</p><p>"Finding this miniscule signal has opened a new window on the early universe,” Judd Bowman from Arizona State University, the study’s lead author, said in a statement. "Telescopes cannot see far enough to directly image such ancient stars, but we've seen when they turned on in radio waves arriving from space." <a href="http://www.iflscience.com/space/scientists-find-signal-from-the-first-stars-in-the-universe-in-a-monumental-moment-for-astronomy/all/" rel="nofollow">Read more...</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 28 Feb 2018 15:50:15 +0000 Anonymous 588 at /ness
