In
this
computer-based
exercise,
students
analyze
realistically
simulated
X-ray
spectra
of
a
supernova
remnant
and
determine
the
abundances
of
various
elements
in
them.
In
the
end,
they
will
find
that
the
elements
necessary
for
life
on
Earth
--
the
iron
in
their
blood,
the
calcium
in
their
bones
--
are
created
in
these
