Ancient Supernovae and Kilonovae Deposits Found in Deep-Sea Sediments
Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence of ancient stellar explosions that rained debris onto Earth and the Moon, with deep-sea sediments revealing traces of radioactive isotopes from both supernovae and kilonovae events. Star Explosions Left Traces in Our Backyard Research led by Brian Fields, an astronomer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, has found that Earth contains the remnants of cosmic explosions dating back millions of years. “We live in a supernova graveyard,” Fields stated during his presentation at the 2025 American Physical Society Global Physics Summit. His team discovered that radioactive isotopes from these stellar explosions “accumulate in the depths … Continue reading Ancient Supernovae and Kilonovae Deposits Found in Deep-Sea Sediments
