SCIENCE. "Very recent astronomical research and new meteorite studies indicate that all the heavier elements, the planets, the star-strewn galaxie, came from the heart of supernovas, the huge unstable suns whose immense convulsions and titanic explosions are the largest and most shattering events in the universe. Untold millions of these giant crucibles in space, continuously irrupting down the long reaches of time, are now perceived to have forged all the hearvier elements that in turn formed the metals, the rocks, and the basic organic compounds of all the galaxies in every region of the Cosmos. Out of the heart of supernovas have come our sun, planets, and, ultimately, life and man. " Index. Occasional photos & drawings. .
