The team, from Australia and the US, calculated the star's mass from the abundance of the cobalt isotopes created by nuclear
fusion in the supernova.

These conditions have never been created
in a laboratory environment and exist naturally only during thermonuclear burn,
in supernovae and
in the
fusion reactions that power our stars.
Because all elements
in the universe heavier than hydrogen, helium, and lithium have been forged by nuclear
fusion in the cores of stars and then scattered into space by
supernova explosions, the find indicates that the galaxy, at the age we're now observing it, was old enough for at least one generation of stars to have formed, lived, and died.
Nuclear
fusion of heavy elements (absorbing energy) occurs
in the extremely high - energy conditions of
supernova explosions.
Nuclear
fusion in stars and
supernovae is the primary process by which new natural elements are created.
They are abundantly produced
in supernova explosions, star - powering nuclear
fusion and other nuclear processes, resulting
in trillions of neutrinos passing through us every minute.
[3] Type Ia
Supernovae occur when an accreting white dwarf
in a binary star system slowly gains mass from its companion until it reaches a limit that triggers the nuclear
fusion of carbon.
originate from
fusion reactions
in the heart of stars and are spewed out when those stars explode as
supernovae, the relatively high metallicity of the galaxy suggests that it had already seen the birth and death of generations of stars by the time the universe was 700 million years old.»
Using Keck, we have traced atoms as they flow from the intergalactic medium into galaxies, where they are incorporated into stars, undergo
fusion, and are returned
in supernovae and other types of stellar death.
supernova type 2 (plural:
supernovae or
supernovas) A condition that occurs when nuclear
fusion can no longer continue
in the core of a massive star.
by
fusion in a random number of
supernova's, then randomly blowing them into space until 10 ^ 50 of them «just happen» to all collect into the right part of the earth's orbit at exactly the right time and the right velocity so they accumulate together?
