科学家发现,大爆炸后水形成1亿至2亿年,比想象的早。 Scientists discover water formed 100-200 million years post-Big Bang, earlier than thought.

来自Portsmouth大学和阿拉伯联合酋长国大学的科学家发现,在大爆炸之后的1亿至2亿年中,水的形成比以前想象的早得多。 Scientists from the University of Portsmouth and the United Arab Emirates University have found that water formed 100-200 million years after the Big Bang, much earlier than previously believed. 水分子在第一次 " 人口三 " 超新星后开始形成,该超新星产生水生存所需的氧气。 Water molecules began forming after the first Population III supernovae, which produced oxygen needed for water to exist. 这表明,在最初的星系出现之前,可能已经形成了丰富水的行星盘,有可能使可居住的行星早日形成。 This suggests that planetary discs rich in water could have formed before the first galaxies, potentially enabling the early formation of habitable planets.
