Astronomers have recently discovered a group of extreme stars with unique properties that link them to the early universe. The findings, published in the Astrophysical Journal, suggest that these stars have existed for billions of years and could help us learn more about the evolution of the universe. These stars, dubbed “ultra-metal-poor” stars, have a much lower metallicity than other stars in the Milky Way. This means they contain only a tiny fraction of the metals that are commonly found in other stars.

Astronomers have made a major breakthrough in our understanding of supernovae with the help of a powerful telescope located in India. The Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) at Hanle, Ladakh has been used to observe and collect data on a rare type of stellar explosion known as a Type Ia supernova. This is the first time that a telescope in India has been used for such a purpose. Type Ia supernovae occur when a white dwarf star in a binary system accretes mass from its companion star, pushing it past the Chandrasekhar limit and triggering the thermonuclear explosion.
