In a groundbreaking study, scientists reveal that magnetars may be responsible for creating heavy elements like gold and platinum. These neutron stars emit giant flares, producing conditions for the 'r-process' that forms these precious materials. This discovery could reshape our understanding of the universe's elemental origins.
NASA's SPHEREx telescope has successfully launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, embarking on a mission to create a 3D map of the cosmos in infrared light, unveiling secrets about the universe's origins and structure.
