New evidence gold on Earth created by ancient collision of dead stars in outer space

“About a decade ago, a team from Europe using supercomputers suggested that gold, platinum and other heavy metals could be formed when two exotic stars — neutron stars — crash and merge. Neutron stars are essentially stellar relics — collapsed cores of massive stars. Now telescopes have detected such an explosion, and the observation bolsters the notion that gold in our jewelry was made in such rare and violent collisions long before the birth of the solar system about 4½ billion years ago. People ‘walk around with a little tiny piece of the universe,’ said lead researcher Edo Berger of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.”
