Puny Star Might Be Specimen from Early Universe

Quote

A low-mass sun with few elements heavier than helium provides hope that the Galaxy might contain survivors from the very first generation of stars. 

The very first stars to light up the universe — also known as Population III stars — are widely presumed to have been giants, hundreds of times heftier than the Sun. But a recently discovered puny star in our Galaxy might be an ancient specimen that shows how the first stellar generation could have contained some runts that still live among us today.
