Fascinating! http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-neutron-stars-gold-20171016-htmlstory.html Scientists have observed the collision of two neutron stars and detected gravity waves via the LIGO and Virgo observatories. Fascinating stuff. This collision possibly is how rare minerals are formed. Not only did they detect the collision but managed to observe the flash of light. This event happened some 130 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Hydra.
GOLD! THARRR BE GOLD IN SPACE!! MINE!! ALL MINE!! But indeed seriously nice stuff, still a pity that all this preciousssss metal is located 130 million lightyears away..
And they'll comment on how people actually used to think gold was valuable. Then leave it all behind to go see something more interesting elsewhere.
