This animation shows the explosive merging of two neutron stars, immediately followed by the eruption of powerful jets (orange) and then expanding shock waves where the jets plow into surrounding material (pink structures at the tip of each jet).

Description
English: This animation shows the explosive merging of two neutron stars, immediately followed by the eruption of powerful jets (orange) and then expanding shock waves where the jets plow into surrounding material (pink structures at the tip of each jet). The animation then shows the kilonova (blue), which contains neutron-rich debris and glows due to the decay of newly forged radioactive elements. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab
