Where did the gold on Earth come from?

[Paul Ferguson]

"Every atom of gold or silver on Earth began its life long before this planet existed. They were inside stars that lived, collapsed, and met a violent end. So how did that gold reach Earth? Is there more on our planet? How much could there be in the Universe? To answer all that, let’s start from the beginning."

by Shravan Hanasoge, an astrophysicist at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.
