Earth is flying through ancient supernova debris and scientists found the evidence in Antarctic ice

Scientists have uncovered new evidence that Earth is traveling through a cloud of ancient stellar debris left behind by a long ago exploding star. By studying Antarctic ice that formed tens of thousands of years ago, researchers detected traces of iron-60, a rare radioactive form of iron created during supernova explosions. The findings support the idea that the Local Interstellar Cloud surrounding our Solar System contains material from an ancient stellar blast.
