These materials may then contribute to the formation of new stars and planets. Woosley's research projects include simulating the evolution of stars 8 to 50 times the mass of the sun, in an attempt to explain how elements like oxygen and iron are formed.
These materials may subsequently contribute to the creation of new celestial entities, including stars and planets. Woosley's research projects involve simulating stellar evolution for massive stars, with the goal of explaining how fundamental elements such as oxygen and iron are formed.
