Gold is an element, atomic symbol Au, atomic number 79.


It can only be made through a supernova nucleosynthesis process.

This process occurs when a star blows up, releasing a lot of energy, and many nuclei are pressed together with so much force that they form new elements with higher masses, gold being one of them.
