What would happen if two neutron stars violently collided in space a billion kilometers away? Tons of gold will be produced. Also metals such as platinum are formed.

Recently, scientists found the place where the gold was formed through telescopes.

Gold formed when neutron stars collide is not insignificant. It is estimated that 200 times the Earth's weight (mass) of gold and 500 times the Earth's weight of platinum have been produced.

This much gold and platinum is not formed in the form of bars. appeared in the form of fine particles. Eventually these will mix with the hydrogen gas in space.

This is the first recorded neutron star collision in space. It was first discovered by LIGO, a pair of research laboratories in the United States.

Gravitational waves are created by colliding neutron stars in space, just as small pebbles are thrown into a pond. The LIGO observatories are set up to record these subtle waves. Recently, when gravitational waves were reported in these research laboratories, scientists became excited and many scientists around the world were alerted. These waves were also recorded at the Ligo Observatory in Italy.

Space observatories are immediately informed of where the gravitational waves are coming from in the sky. The cluster of light was spotted when scientists scanned the area in the sky with about 70 telescopes. Soon it began to dissolve. When that light was analyzed with appropriate instruments, it was found that elements like gold and platinum were formed there.
Here we must note one thing. You might have read about the table of elements in chemistry class at school. It can also be called a list of elements. Some elements have been created artificially in the laboratory. Otherwise the elements do not originate on earth.

In our sun, hydrogen atoms combine to form the element helium. This is nuclear fusion. Some more elements are formed in the sun. In stars many times more massive than the Sun, elements up to iron are formed through nuclear fusion. Many of the elements in the atomic list beyond iron are formed when neutrons collide with other atoms in space.

These conflicts occur in two ways.

Slow collisions in retrospect. Extreme conflicts. During such collisions in space, many types of elements are formed.

Although it is known that certain types of elements appear during stellar explosions called supernovae, there have been tentative theories about the conditions under which heavier elements such as gold and platinum appear.
