SUPERNOVA LEAVES EVIDENCE

A team of researchers has found an unusual spike in beryllium-10 levels in the Pacific seabed, dating back 10 million years. Was it shifting ocean currents or a cosmic radiation surge from a stellar explosion? This anomaly might serve as a long-sought time marker, helping scientists synchronize Earth’s ancient history with unprecedented precision. Beryllium-10, a rare radioactive isotope formed when cosmic rays collide with particles in Earth’s atmosphere, offers important clues about the planet’s geological past. A research team , has discovered an unusually high concentration of this isotope in sediment samples from the Pacific Ocean floor.
