Today's Topic: 🌟Star Collision Creates Space Gold!🌟
TL; DW (Too Long; Didn’t Watch)
- In August 2017, an explosion was spotted by scientists in a previously obscure galaxy called NGC 4993.
- It made gold!
- Two neutron (very dense) stars collided causing tiny ripples in the fabric of space.
- The collision propelled debris into space at 300 million kilometers per hour.
- Scientists estimate it created at least as much gold as the mass of the Earth.
- That is 6 billion trillion (6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) TONS of gold.
- In all of known civilization, only 186,000 tons of gold have been extracted.
- Scientists assume this kind of collision only happens once every 10,000 years in the Milky Way Galaxy.
- At least 10,000 Earths worth of debris containing precious metals resulted from this collision, only one “Earth” being gold.
