Creation Moment 5/17/2022 - HD 222925: Unique Cosmological Furnace of Gold

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Psalm 33:9

 

"Scientists have conducted an analysis of this dim object, and identified 65 separate elements. That's the most elements ever found in a single object outside the Solar System, and most of them are heavy elements from the bottom of the periodic table, rarely found in stars.

 "To the best of my knowledge, that's a record for any object beyond our Solar System. And what makes this star so unique is that it has a very high relative proportion of the elements listed along the bottom two-thirds of the periodic table. We even detected gold," said astronomer Ian Roederer of the University of Michigan.

In the nuclear fusion furnaces of their cores, these stars forged hydrogen into helium; then helium into carbon; and so on, fusing heavier and heavier elements as they run out of lighter ones until iron is produced.

This brings us back to HD 222925, located around 1,460 light-years away, which is certainly a bit of an oddball....Therefore, r-process elements had somehow been distributed throughout the molecular cloud of hydrogen and helium from which HD 222925 formed.... That "somehow" has to have been an explosion that sprayed the r-process elements out into space." ScienceAlert
