Tungsten

Tungsten bears modest astronomical significance owing to its distinct properties and potential contributions to understanding celestial phenomena. Formed during nucleosynthesis processes within stars, notably in supernovae explosions and neutron star mergers, tungsten exists as a relatively scarce element in the cosmos. Tungsten's spectral characteristics, displaying unique lines in the ultraviolet and visible spectra, provide astronomers with markers to identify its presence in stars, aiding in deciphering their compositions and conditions. However, detecting tungsten in interstellar space or within stars remains challenging due to its lower cosmic abundance.
