Astronomers from The University of Western Australia’s node of the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have developed a new way to study star formation in galaxies from the dawn of time to today.
“Stars can be thought of as enormous nuclear-powered processing plants,” said lead researcher Dr. Sabine Bellstedt, from ICRAR.
“They take lighter elements like hydrogen and helium, and, over billions of years, produce the heavier elements of the periodic table that we find scatt…
