🔮 China-US astronomy team may have found possible relic of a recent ‘gold factory’ Mystery glow seen in the Milky Way could be the result of a violent collision between two orbiting neutron stars, according to scientists The violent smash spewed out atoms and a flood of neutrons, which the atoms soaked up to form some of the universe’s heaviest elements, such as gold, platinum and uranium, while the wreckage collapsed into a black hole.
