Scientists have discovered evidence of a meteorite that a rare radioactive element was there during the formation of our solar system, which has ended the 35 year old debate.
The finding plays a crucial role in the re-evaluation of stellar evolution models and synthesis of elements in stars, researchers said.
The discovery has ended 35- year- old debate about the possible presence of curio in the early solar system, they said.
Curio was incorporated in the inclusion when it condenses from the gas cloud that formed the sun early in the history of the solar system.
On Earth, there curio were only manufactured in laboratories or as a byproduct of nuclear explosions.
It could have been present, however, in the early history of the solar system it is said that was a result of the explosions of massive stars that occurred before the solar system was born.
