Thank you so much for reading and for your comment, I'm really glad that you liked it :)

I mentioned this I think very briefly here

Similarly, When 2 neutron stars merge, they can free up an abundance of neutrons. Those neutrons can be absorbed by heavy atoms near those neutron stars.

I just didn't know that this is actually the dominant way of heavy element formation, thank you for that info!!

Much appreciated, cheers! :))
