"Unveiling the Secrets of Supernova Stardust in Ancient Meteorites"

Scientists have discovered a rare stardust particle locked within an ancient meteorite, offering insights into the explosive supernova death of a distant star and the formation of the solar system. The particle's extreme isotopic ratio suggests it originated from a recently discovered hydrogen-burning supernova, shedding light on the life and death of stars. This groundbreaking research, published in the Astrophysical Journal, demonstrates how rare particles in meteorites can provide atomic-scale insights into events beyond the solar system.
