CTOnews.com October 26 news, NASA recently issued a press release, through the James Webb Space Telescope to detect the first time after the star merger of heavy elements.

Using the James Weber Space Telescope, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, and the Neil Gareth Swift Observatory on the ground, NASA observed the gamma-ray burst on March 7, 2023 and named it GRB 230307A, which was caused by the explosion caused by the merger of two neutron stars and was the second brightest GRB event in history.

In astronomy, the explosion caused by the merger of two or one neutron star with a black hole is called a thousand nova (Kilonova). Successful observation of heavy elements such as tellurium (tellurium) could help astronomers explore the mysteries of the origin of life on Earth, NASA said in its press release.

"other elements near tellurium in the periodic table-such as iodine, which is needed for most life on Earth-may also be present in substances ejected by millennia," NASA said.
