Meet one of the most powerful explosions in the Universe, the mighty Kilonova! 😨
💥 Sequence of events: 1) Two binary neutron stars (really dense stars) start to move closer to each other 2) The system sends out gravitational radiation that make ripples in space-time 3) These waves make the stars move even closer together 4) In the milliseconds before the explosion, the two stars “merge into a death spiral that kicks out highly radioactive material,” as NASA states, with material that gets warmer, gets bigger and sends out light; 5) BOOM! RIP any planet nearby.
All the gold, platinum and other precious metals we see around us are a result of these cosmic explosions
