Science!

Actually, the fact that it has no Lithium in particular is strange - the first stars should have, by all the current models, a small amount of Lithium-6, which this one apparently does not have - the only "heavy metal" even detectable in the spectrum is Calcium-40. The fact it has no Lithium at all is problematic with the current model of star formation. Without Lithium, stellar formation should not be possible - there would not be enough density for any matter to coalesce to form a star in the first place.

The astronomers have some 'splainin' to do.

So, you're still depressed then? Try Xanax. :D
