NASA scientist proposes magnetars, not just supernovas, create significant heavy elements like gold.
NASA scientist Anirudh Patel suggests that magnetars, neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields, may be responsible for creating up to 10% of heavy elements like gold in our galaxy.
These elements are thought to form when magnetars release high-energy radiation in flares, contributing to a process that creates heavy metals.
This theory, based on 20-year-old space telescope data, challenges previous beliefs about the origins of these elements and could be validated by NASA's upcoming COSI mission.
