How a neutron star collision creates chaosMore for You Ethics commissioner publishes list of PM Carney's investments John Goodman hasn’t spoken to former co-star Roseanne Barr in ‘seven or ...

Within this neutron-rich debris, large quantities of some of the universe's heaviest elements were forged, including hundreds of Earth masses of gold and platinum.

Gravitational waves have led scientists to something they’ve never seen before — the collision of two exotic objects called neutron stars. Here are some amazing things about that discovery.

When astronomers observed a neutron star collision in 2017 through telescopes, they found the event could create heavy elements such as gold, platinum and lead.

Simulation Captures The Most Complex 1.5 Seconds In A Neutron Star Collision – And You Can Watch It Here This work is a game-changer for future observations! Dr. Alfredo Carpineti ...

Five reasons why astronomers are ecstatic about today's big announcement that the gravitational wave experiment known as LIGO has detected the collision of two neutron stars in a remote galaxy: 1.

The LIGO observatory has spotted ripples of gravity from a collision of two neutron stars, shedding new light on the nuclear upheavals believed to have created much of the universe’s heavy metals ...

However, the Chandra observations revealed low X-ray levels. Above, an artist's illustration of GW170817, the neutron-star collision whose gravitational waves were detected in August 2017.

She studies dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way. But neutron star collisions are precisely Clarkson’s area — the formation of elements in the universe. “I was definitely jealous,” Clarkson said.
