Illustration of two neutron stars merging (bright centre) resulting in the creation of strontium atoms (orange balls). The merger of two neutron stars causes an explosion,called a kilonova. Data from the X-shooter instrument on European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) indicate the creation of strontium which is ejected into space. | |
