Gold’s Wild Origin Story Just Dropped

Turns out, the gold in your jewelry (and maybe your phone!) might have been forged in wild, explosive flares from super-magnetic neutron stars called magnetars—way earlier than scientists thought possible.

Basically, the universe’s bling is way older and more dramatic than we ever imagined. Who knew your gold necklace had such a wild backstory? #SpaceMystery #GoldOrigin #ScienceNews #Magnetars #Astrophysics #Science
