Why in different space objects there is almost the same relative content of helium, but different contents of heavier elements?
September 18, 2020 | Education
| The content of helium (20.8%) in space bodies is the same, since it is determined by thermonuclear fusion in the first minutes of the Big Bang. The formation of heavy elements occurred as a result of local synthesis in the course of the evolution of specific stars, therefore their content is different in different cosmic bodies.
