Wreckage is from 'pristine star'

UK and US scientists have found the remnants of a star that exploded more than 13 billion years ago.It would most probably have been one of the very first stars to shine in the Universe, they say.All that is left of this pioneer is the gas cloud it threw out into space when it blew itself apart.It was identified when its contents were illuminated by the brilliant light coming from the surroundings of a distant black hole.
