Nickel

Nickel bears astronomical significance despite its relatively sparse presence in cosmic realms compared to more abundant elements. Arising from nucleosynthesis processes within stars, nickel exists in lower quantities, posing challenges in its detection and analysis in cosmic settings due to its scarcity. Nonetheless, its spectral lines, primarily observable in the ultraviolet and optical spectra, hold importance in astronomical studies. Detected in trace amounts within the interstellar medium, nickel contributes to the observed chemical composition in interstellar clouds, potentially influencing molecular formations.
