MALES OF THE GROUP AND SPENT
HALF OF HIS LIFE AT THE ZOO IN
APPLE VALLEY.
MINNESOTA RESEARCHERS ARE
PART OF A TEAM OF
ASTROPHYSICISTS INVOLVED IN A
MAJOR DISCOVERY.
THE FIRST TIME EVER,
SCIENTISTS OBSERVE THE
COLLISION OF TWO NEUTRON STARS.
THIS IS A NASA ANIMATION OF
WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU WILL SEE THEM ENTER A TEETH
SPIRAL AND COLLIDE.
THEY OBSERVED THIS HAPPENING IN
AUGUST.
THE OUT IN RON STARS ARE SMALL
AND DENSE.
THEY HAVE MASSES BIGGER THAN
OUR SON AND COMPRESSED INTO A
BODY WITH A DIAMETER ROUGHLY
THE SIZE OF A CITY LIKE
CHICAGO.
IT RELEASED MORE ENERGY THAN
HAS BEEN DURING THE ENTIRE
LIFETIME OF THE SUN.
A BURST OF LIGHT AND SCATTERED
HEAVY ELEMENTS LIKE GOLD AND
PLAN THEM ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL SAY
RESEARCHERS AND WILL OPEN UP A
NEW AREA OF ASTRO FIZZICS TO
HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND THE
UNIVERSE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE TOWER SEE
THIS HAPPENED 130 YEARS AGO.
