Question: is JWST capable of detecting population 3 stars, or are they red shifted too much?
The timestamp table is from the magnetar interview!
Dust is just the babies of the universe
Another great interview, thankyou for bringing these to us. I find these really interesting. I have learnt more about the universe since I joined Fraser at Patreon than I think I learned in my previous 79 years. Just goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks, remembering it all is hardest bit.. Great there was no drop outs in the transmission this time.
Yes, no dropouts in this Patreon video. Ditto to all the rest, too!
Really massive stars, many solar masses, go nova very quickly, a few million years, so-one would expect some metalicity.”
