Question

does this nebula contain any uranium? choose one: a. yes, all uranium is derived from the crab nebula explosion. b. no, only the first five elements existed when the crab nebula exploded. c. no, because the crab nebula is a first-generation stellar nursery. d. yes, because the crab nebula represents a supernova explosion whose extreme high temperatures allowed for the formation of heavier elements.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a neutron star is observed in the center of the Crab Nebula, it is believed that the star that went supernovae was a massive star, many times larger than the sun. When this star ran out of fuel it collapsed to a neutron star, and the outer layers were violently thrown off to form the supernova explosion.
