By definition, each population group shows the trend where lower metal content indicates higher age of stars. Hence, the first stars in the universe (very low metal content) were deemed population III, old stars (low metallicity) as population II, and recent stars (high metallicity) as population I. [6] The Sun is considered population I, a ...
Cosmos Redshift 7 (also known as COSMOS Redshift 7, Galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7, Galaxy CR7 or CR7) is a high-redshift Lyman-alpha emitter galaxy.At a redshift z = 6.6, [1] the galaxy is observed as it was about 800 million years after the Big Bang, during the epoch of reionisation. [1]
K-type main-sequence stars are about three to four times as abundant as G-type main-sequence stars, making planet searches easier. [17] K-type stars emit less total ultraviolet and other ionizing radiation than G-type stars like the Sun (which can damage DNA and thus hamper the emergence of nucleic acid based life). In fact, many peak in the red.
