"Unraveling the Enigma: New Insights into Cosmic Explosions and Precious Metal Origins"

Researchers have determined that the extremely bright cosmic explosion known as the Brightest Of All Time (BOAT) was caused by a supernova, but found no signs of heavy elements like gold and platinum, deepening the mystery of their origins. The event, observed with the Webb Space Telescope, lasted 10 hours and emitted gamma-rays with energies reaching up to 13 teraelectronvolts. The findings challenge previous hypotheses about the production of heavy elements and point to alternative channels for their creation, prompting astronomers to rework their models of cosmic phenomena.
