Stardust Found
Scientists from the Technical University of Munich in Germany have found a layer of an extremely rare isotope of iron on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and have concluded that it came from a supernova about 2.8 million years ago. The isotope, iron-60, was found 15,750 feet below the ocean surface. Having a decay rate or half-life of about 1.5 million years, it's easy to calculate the date of the supernova event.
