Water was born after the stars explode

The first water molecules were formed after large bang 100 million and 200 million years ago – before the first galaxies – he led to the process of living on earth … and probably elsewhere.
Shortly after the Big Bang, most of the topics in the universe was hydrogen and helium, only the clues of other lighter elements, like lithium. Heavier items like oxygen are not yet existed, it is impossible to form water.
These initial items met in the first stars, and then produced heavier items nuclear fusion Basically, including oxygen. When these stars came to the end of their lives, they exploded as Supernova, releasing these heavy elements and loosen oxygen to mix and combine with existing hydrogen2O – Water.
Previous Research The relatively low amount of oxygen generated in the first stars could also be water molecules, but so far no one was simulated when a primordial star went, and how it was released to be mixed with the cosmological environment formed. Daniel Bale UK Portsmouth University. “Less do, you don’t know what’s going on,” he said.
To research this, whales and his team used computer models to simulate the birth and death in a realistic context of the first stars. These early stars are believed to have been as mass as the sun, so researchers modeled both ends.
As you expected, the stars explained more oxygen, so they created more water, while the shape of the clouds of Jupiter’s mass, and the small stars created the water mass of the earth, they say.
According to the mass of the stars, researchers found that the water was 3 million and 90 million years after the Supernob’s explosions, which is the first molecule after 100 million and 200 million years after large bang.
It is important, however, that the team found that this water was not broadcasting throughout the cosmos. Instead, to join other heavy elements created by gravity and the first stars. This, as a result, these stacks were second-generation in the second-generation fields, and maybe the first planets. “That was a huge result,” says whales.
“This idea formed before Galaxies, essentially the decades of thought that life was created in the universe for the first time,” Whalen says. Team member Muhammad latif In the United Arab Emirates, researchers now aim to simulate the destruction and hard radiation of the formation of the former galaxies, that is, the early molecules can still be on the ground today.
“Because of life chemistry requires liquid water and you can only get an object with a surface or an object,” he says AVI counts Harvard University. He would spend a lot of time before condensing in the steam liquid, and their planets – Using the tools like James Webb Space Telescopes will help us understand more of this process and have millions of these planets after millions of Big Bang.
