APOD: 2021 June 30 - Simulation: Formation of the First Stars

Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Video- Clip of the Day (AVCOD) for Wednesday, June 30, 2021 entitled" Simulation: Formation of the First Stars."

APOD writers ask a question they can not answer, since the scientific method is limited to what can be recreated experimentally or experientially
"Explanation: How did the first stars form? To help find out, the SPHINX computer simulation of star formation in the very early universe was created, some results of which are shown in the featured video. Time since the Big Bang is shown in millions of years on the upper left. Even 100 million years after the Big Bang, matter was spread too uniformly across the cosmos for stars to be born. Besides background radiation, the universe was dark. Soon, slight matter clumps rich in hydrogen gas begin to coalesce into the first stars. In the time-lapse video, purple denotes gas, white denotes light, and gold shows radiation so energetic that it ionizes hydrogen, breaking it up into charged electrons and protons. The gold-colored regions also track the most massive stars that die with powerful supernovas. The inset circle highlights a central region that is becoming a galaxy. The simulation continues until the universe was about 550 million years old. To assess the accuracy of the SPHINX simulations and the assumptions that went into them, the results are not only being compared to current deep observations, but will also be compared with more direct observations of the early universe planned with NASA's pending James Webb Space Telescope.

Great video clip share, one awesome display Maj William W. 'Bill' Price , have a great Wednesday sir.

The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope comes at a good time because the Hubble Space Telescope just became inoperable. The Hubble Space Telescope definitely served well and while the computer has faulted, I wonder if the electronics could be upgraded so that it continues to provide scientists with clues about the origin of the Universe. The greatest expense is the mirrors and it would be a shame to seem them go to waste. If we took images of the planets, asteroids, and comets, etc. using Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope concurrently, while the telescopes were orbiting on opposite sides of our planet, could the images be overlayed into a stereo image showing the objects in 3D?
