The discovery of this ancient star , named SMSS 0313-6708, will help scientists to better understand how the universe was in its “infancy,” according to lead researcher Stefan Keller.
“This is one of the first steps we take to understand how stars were those first . This finding allows us to know who left those footprints Stars primary, “Keller said in a statement released by the University of Australia.
The Star was about 6 thousand light years from Earth, ie considerably closer to our planet in astronomical terms.
