The rest gets dispersed into space, where it is available to make new generations of stars.

Even when disturbances do not destroy galaxies, they can strip them of the gas they need to produce new generations of stars and planets, effectively sterilising them.

They blazed brilliantly, but within just a few million years they burned out and exploded, spewing heavy elements that helped seed the formation of succeeding generations of stars and planets.

Supernova explosions blew these heavier elements into interstellar space, where they mixed with clouds of primordial hydrogen and helium and were recycled into subsequent generations of stars.

This dust then contributes to the surrounding interstellar medium, feeding future generations of stars and encouraging them to form planets.

Second - generation stars are still metal - poor compared with modern stars like the sun, whose birth clouds were enriched by several generations of stars over billions of years.

In contrast, younger generations of stars consumed the corpses of their predecessors containing heavy elements, which stunted their growth.

Today, this dust is plentiful and is a key building block in the formation of stars, planets and complex molecules; but in the early Universe — before the first generations of stars died out — it was scarce.

In principle, Tanvir says, a bright, well - observed GRB at great distances could expose the makeup of the intergalactic medium as well as the chemistry of the star's host galaxy, which would in turn indicate the products of previous generations of stars.

As a result, the early generations of stars were rich in hydrogen.

«This is particularly important because it indicates that as successive generations of stars die and eject the elements they produced into the galaxy, the heaviest elements are produced together, while previous work had suggested that this was not the case,» Dauphas explained.

In this scenario, some of the stars in the bulge might be younger, with their chemical composition enriched in heavier elements expelled from the death of previous generations of stars, and they should show a different motion compared to the older stars.

But others think the bulge formed later in the galaxy's lifetime, slowly evolving after the first generations of stars were born.

First - generation stars have never been observed so far, but they must have left their beryllium mark on the interstellar medium, from which later generations of stars condensed.

Just as London and Paris are built on more ancient Roman or even older remains, our Milky Way galaxy also has multiple generations of stars that span the time from its formation to the present.

These systems also have an absence of the raw materials (gas and dust) needed for new generations of stars to form, leaving behind older and fainter relics.

Those processed elements escaped in stellar winds or supernova explosions and then got picked up by subsequent generations of stars.

Most galaxies abound with interstellar gas and dust, the detritus of countless generations of stars.

Supernovas are extremely important for cosmic ecology because they inject huge amounts of energy into the interstellar gas, and are responsible for dispersing elements such as iron, calcium and oxygen into space where they may be incorporated into future generations of stars and planets.

Rather, they analyzed microscopic silicon carbide, SiC, dust grains that formed in supernovae more than 4.6 billion years ago and were trapped in meteorites as our Solar System formed from the ashes of the galaxy's previous generations of stars.

Kilonovas are predicted to form such elements in abundance, spraying them out into space where they could become part of future generations of stars and planets.

Some meteorites have been known for decades to contain a record of the original building blocks of the Solar System, including stardust grains that formed in prior generations of stars.

In a paper to appear in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, Forbes and Kroupa have offered five possible criteria for determining whether an object is a galaxy: the presence of dark matter, multiple generations of stars, satellite star clusters, a minimum size, and the time it takes for gravitational interactions between stars to slow them all down to roughly the same speed.
