What’s Happening

Here’s the thing: Astronomers have finally cracked a decades-old mystery about red giant stars—how material from their deep interiors makes its way to the surface.

Using cutting-edge supercomputer simulations, researchers found out that stellar rotation plays a powerful role in mixing elements across a before unexplained barrier inside the star. Science News Supercomputer simulations reveal that spinning stars mix their internal elements far more efficiently than before thought. (and honestly, same)

This discovery solves a decades-old puzzle about why red giants show unexpected chemical changes.
