Lunar soil reads as a cosmic time capsule for exploding stars
When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright, powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe.

When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright, powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe. A new study led by a University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researcher has discovered that the moon's mixed-up soil can be read as a cosmic time capsule for exploding stars. The work is published in the journal Physical Review Letters.
