ORIGIN OF MATTER. “(Big Bang) Nucleosynthesis is the synthesis of the nuclei of the light elements (Deuterium, D, Helium-3, 3He, Helium-4, 4He, and Lithium-7, 7Li) when the Universe was seconds to minutes old.” https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

“FIGURE 1: Evolution of the log of the density of the universe, ε, with the log of the scale factor, a. The universe starts off radiation dominated (red line), becomes matter dominated (blue) and then at late times is dominated by the cosmological constant (burgundy).” https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENTED METEORS. “Here, we show that a fraction of long-period comets are tidally disrupted after passing close to the Sun, each producing a collection of smaller fragments that cross the orbit of Earth.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82320-2 View in LinkedIn
