A galaxy called GLIMPSE-16403, is by no means confirmed as a Population III host. But the identification of even a candidate suggests that it's only a matter of time before we finally locate the first stars in the Universe.
A new study argues that Pop III stars flooded the cosmos with water. Based on this, by 100 to 200 million years after the Big Bang, there could have been enough water and other elements in molecular clouds for life to form.
