Title: Synthesis of the Elements in the Stars.
Post by: Kai on November 29, 2011, 07:28:32 PM
Neil Degrasse Tyson is well known for his "most amazing thing in the universe" story about the synthesis of the heavier elements in the stars. If you haven't heard it, you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiOwqDmacJo

I've wondered for a while where this originated, and why it isn't celebrated. While listening to this Colbert interview with Tyson today, he talked about the original paper, "Synthesis of the Elements in Stars" by Burbidge et al (1957).

You can download the article from this link (PDF): http://rmp.aps.org/pdf/RMP/v29/i4/p547_1

Just thought I'd put that out there.
