Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that iron-60 is created during supernovae?

Yes. Scientific literature confirms that Iron-60 is synthesized in massive stars and ejected during supernova explosions.
