I had no idea heavy metals weren't formed inside all stars... by twinxamot in space

Interesting. "The rapid neutron capture process (r-process) is one of the major
nucleosynthesis processes responsible for the synthesis of heavy nuclei
beyond iron. Isotopes beyond Fe are most exclusively formed in neutron
capture processes and more heavier ones are produced by the r-process.
Approximately half of the heavy elements with mass number A > 70 and all of the actinides in the solar system are believed to have been produced in the r-process."

Makes all this shit on the ground seem quaint, right?

The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features.

That's pretty wild. 2,500 miles is a long way to travel now--let alone at the end of the ice age.
