the fundamentals of physics behind the times

[Werner Presber]

A team of European astronomers has used ESO’s Very Large Telescope  
(VLT) to track down a star in the Milky Way that many thought was  
impossible. They discovered that this star is composed almost  
entirely of hydrogen and helium, with only remarkably small amounts  
of other chemical elements in it. This intriguing composition places  
it in the “forbidden zone” of a widely accepted theory of star  
formation, meaning that it should never have come into existence in  
the first place. The results will appear in the 1 September 2011  
issue of the journal Nature.
