There appears to be no observational evidence for the existence of true Population III stars (zero-metal abundance, first generation stars) in our Galaxy. They may only be found in an earlier generation of galaxies which formed in the denser regions of space, such as the Virgo cluster. High-speed dust ejected from supernovae in these earlier galaxies may have contaminated our Galaxy with metals before any stars formed in it.
