FASCINATING DISCOVERY OF THE

“GOLD STANDARD” STAR! In the glorious Milky Way galaxy, which is where the Sun lies,

a new star has been discovered, and it’s really fascinating, because it consists of 62 whole elements, and that’s the highest number of elements ever found in any object outside the solar system! The discovery of the star, which has been named HD222925, is very special because it has broken the records of the number of elements found in the magnificent solar system. According to this research, led by astronomer Ian Roederer, forty two of the total elements found belong to the periodic table! The elements found in this unique star include platinum, silver, thorium and tellurium, all of which are rarely ever found in any other star! It has also been mentioned that The Gold Standard Star is relatively bright. The mysterious Milky Way consists of several objects that are captivating, and exploring the space always leaves us in wonder of the amazing things that lie beyond us!

Many of the stars you see in the night sky are actually brighter and bigger than our sun!

Glorious: praise & honour Captivating: pleasant or attractive
