New spectrographic scans of the interstellar object 31 ATLAS reveal it contains over 33 billion tons of pure nickel one of the rarest and most valuable metals in the galaxy and it’s glowing. The scans, conducted using infrared and gamma-ray spectroscopy, show concentrated layers of highly refined nickel spread across the object’s inner crust. But this isn’t ordinary metal. It’s radiating light, generating a heat signatur

Galaxy cosmic| Astronomy on Instagram: "Inside a neutron star lies matter in its most extreme and exotic form. The outer crust contains atomic nuclei and free electrons, but deeper in, the pressure becomes so immense that electrons are forced into protons, forming neutrons—creating a sea of tightly packed neutrons. At the core, things get even stranger: scientists believe there may be superfluid neutrons, hyperons (particles containing strange quarks), or even quark-gluon plasma—a state where ne
