  • The oldest known minerals in the solar system show unusual chemical traces that indicate a supernova explosion happened nearby within a million years of their formation. That blast could even have been the one that triggered the birth of the sun. Most of the universe is filled with light elements like hydrogen and helium. The heavier stuff that makes up planets is forged inside stars or created when they explode as supernovae.
