The first stars were born 1.8 billion years before the Lynx Arc.

The universe was only 2 billion years old at the time at which we are observing the Lynx Arc.

The Lynx Arc was discovered in 2003 and is considered to be the hottest known star-birthing region in the Universe as of October 2003.

The surface temperature of the stars in the Lynx Arc is estimated to be around 80000 K, about twice as hot as stars in our neighborhood.

Located behind a cluster of galaxies in northern Constellation Lynx around 12 billion light-years (ly) away, the Lynx Arc is a distant supercluster of extremely hot, young stars.

Roughly one million times brighter than the well-known Orion Nebula, the Lynx Arc contains a million blue stars that are twice as hot as similar stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
