"This early era of cosmic history remains out of reach for observers. So to investigate it, theorists perform sophisticated computer simulations, which help tease out what happened as pristine clouds of hydrogen and helium gas gravitationally collapsed. According to calculations these clouds fragmented into multiple clumps that formed stars with masses up to 500 Suns. These early beacons lived fast and died young shining with millions of times of energy of our Sun but lasting only a few million years. They died in studendous supernova explosions and their cores collapsed into black holes with 100 to 200 solar masses."
