neutron star collision

Astronomers for the second time discovered gravitational waves generated from the intense merger of two neutron stars.

Astronomers have discovered the collision of two neutron stars in 2017 creating a heavy element of strontium alongside gold, lead and platinum.

From our first observation of the collision of neutron stars in 2017, scientists realized that the 2016 gamma ray explosion was a kilonova, the type of explosion that produces gold

Experts say the explosion that occurred 130 million light years ago generated about half of the universe's gold, platinum, uranium and mercury.

The Hubble telescope of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) is observing a pair of neutron stars in the galaxy NGC 4993, 130 million light-years from Earth.
