Our results are based on the First determination of a Zn abundance in a Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph high-resolution UV spectrum of a hyper metal-poor (HMP) star, HE1327-2326, with Fe/H(NLTE) = -5.2. We determine Zn/Fe = 0.80$\pm$0.25 from a UV Zn I line at 2138 detected at $3.4\sigma$. Yields of a 25M$_ødot$ aspherical supernova model with artificially modified densities exploding with E = 5x10$^51$ ergs best match the entire abundance pattern of HE1327-2326. Such high-entropy hypernova explosions are expected to produce bipolar outfows which could facilitate the external enrichment of small neighboring galaxies. This has already been predicted by theoretical studies of the earliest star forming minihalos. Such a scenario would have significant implications for the chemical enrichment across the early universe as HMP Carbon Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars such as HE1327-2326 might have formed in such externally enriched environments.
