First generation stars, also known as Population III stars, are believed to have been very massive and hot, with masses up to hundreds of times that of the Sun and temperatures reaching over 100,000 Kelvin. These stars were made exclusively of hydrogen, helium, and small amounts of lithium, as heavier elements were not yet present in the universe during their formation.
