Astronomers Might Use Manganese to Clock the Age of Galaxies
📌 概要
俄亥俄州立大学天文学家在《皇家天文学会月刊》发表论文，提出利用锰元素作为新的“宇宙时钟”来测定星系年龄。宇宙计时因事件久远而困难，这一意外元素为追溯数十亿年前的天文演化提供了全新手段。

Keeping track of time in the universe is a difficult task. It’s constantly evolving and changing, and studying events that happened billions of years ago, while possible, isn’t exactly easy. A recent paper in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society from astronomers at The Ohio State University has unlocked a whole new way to tell time in space by using a new, perhaps unexpected element - manganese.
