The Kavli Foundation recently spoke with three astrophysicists about how this discovery can unlock clues
about galactic evolution as well as the abundances of certain elements on Earth we use for everything from jewelry - making to nuclear power generation.
Researchers said the technique could help astronomers address broad questions
about galactic evolution, which is intimately tied to the growth and activity of the supermassive black holes that lurk at the heart of most, if not all, galaxies.
