Simulation of the collision of two small but compact neutron stars. Such a rare event is expected to create both gravitational waves and a gamma-ray burst, both of which were observed on August 17, 2017. Source: University of Warwick/Mark Garlick.

For the first time, gravitational waves and light waves were discovered from the same event - the merger of two neutron stars

This artist's illustration, prepared for the Harvard Smithsonian Center, depicts two neutron stars at the moment of collision. New findings confirm that collisions of neutron stars cause short bursts of gamma rays in which the rare metals including gold are produced. All the gold on Earth is believed to have come from such neutron star collisions. illustration

The gold on Earth was created in neutron star collisions
