Will meteorites falling in Turkey create gold in the region?

Experts say ‘supernova explosions throwing meteorites to Earth’

The meteorites , which was seen in Malatya, Erzurum, Elazığ and Gaziantep provinces, created gold density in the region. Experts explained the formation of gold as “It was the result of the collision of two neutron stars, which are dense and high-energy stars.” In the light of these data, it became a matter of curiosity whether there was gold in the meteorite. People of the region rushed to their lands.

There is scientific authority that gold comes to Earth from space. Gold formed during fusion reactions is thrown to the earth by supernova explosions. Based on this information, the region immediately rushed to its land and started looking for meteorites. However, gold can be found in the rocks beneath the earth’s crust or in the alluvium where it accumulates after being transported by water. Here are all the details.

NOT GOLD BUT METEORITE MINING

According to a news report, the skies over the East and Southeast lit up around 20:30 on Saturday, September 2. An object believed to be a meteorite seen in Diyarbakır and many other provinces was seen floating in the air. Meanwhile, Umut Can Gümüş, who was sitting with his friends in the rural Güneştepe neighborhood of Ergani district, took action as the sky turned blue.

After searching for about 4 hours in his field, he saw the stone, which they had not come across in the region before. Stating that the stone was hot to the touch when he first saw it and that he wrapped it in his T-shirt and took it home, Gümüş said that the stone weighed 500 grams.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GOLD FORMATION

Gold is one of the most precious metals in the universe. Gold is formed in the cores of stars during nuclear fusion reactions, where hydrogen turns into helium. These reactions lead to supernova explosions when the star reaches the end of its life. Supernova explosions eject heavy elements like gold into space. These elements are involved in the formation of new planets and moons.

On Earth, gold was segregated from magma in the early history of the planet and deposited in the Earth’s crust. Gold can be found in rocks beneath the Earth’s crust or in alluvium, where it is transported by water and deposited. Gold becomes harder and more durable when mixed with other metals. For this reason, gold is used in items such as jewelry, coins and medals.

Gold also plays an important role in electronics, computers, space and medicine due to its electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Gold has been of economic and cultural value throughout human history. Gold has been seen as a symbol of beauty, wealth and splendor.

THE MAIN SUBSTANCE OF GOLD IS QUARTZ AND…

According to some information, another feature that makes gold valuable is that it is very difficult to obtain. After it is obtained, it goes through many processing processes. The raw material of gold is usually obtained from quartz or schist veins and gold sands.

In order to obtain pure gold, mechanical or chemical processes are applied. As a result, gold is obtained. In the mechanical process, the minerals are ground into fine powder and then washed in a mixture of water and an oily substance. After this process, the mixture is distilled using the malting method and gold is obtained.
