A new study, presented last week at the American Astronomical Society conference in Washington, claims that the sun is not a huge mass of hydrogen, as is believed to this day - but is primarily made of iron.
The surprising study that should cause a wave of counter reactions was conducted by Prof. Oliver Manuel (Nuclear Chemistry) from the University of Missouri in the USA. Explain: Hydrogen fusion produces only a fraction of the Sun's tremendous heat rising to its surface. Most of the heat, 6500 degrees, originates from the iron in the core of the sun.
The iron was created, claims Prof. Manuel, from the explosion of a star, a supernova - which continues to produce its tremendous energy to this day. According to Prof. Manuel's research, the solar system and the stars came into being in a catastrophic event: the collapse of the supernova's core. This explanation runs counter to a widely held view by astrophysicists, according to which the Sun and planets were gradually formed over 4.5 billion years from a cloud of interstellar dust.
Prof. Manuel, and other scientists now claim that the explosion occurred 5 billion years ago, shook our galaxy, the Milky Way and from it the stars and the sun were born.
