“We’re all made of stardust, but gold, silver and platinum are made of neutron stardust.” – Dr J.J. Eldridge, astrophysicist at the University of Auckland

 

Neutron stars are made up of the collapsed cores of giant stars that have exploded. These incredibly dense stars are as small as cities like New York and yet have more mass than our Sun. They are among the densest objects in the universe. In the event known as a kilonova, a pair of neutron stars, that have likely spent more than 11 billion years circling each other more and more closely, finally collide together about 130 million light-years away. Neutron stars spew out visible cosmic fireworks when they come together. And out of this fire comes around 200 Earth masses of pure gold!
