This artist’s concept depicts a magnetar – a type of neutron star with a strong magneticfield – losing material into space. Shown as thin green lines, the magnetic field linesinfluence the movement of charged material around the magnetar.NASA/JPL-Caltech Since the big bang, the early universe had hydrogen, helium, and a scant amountof lithium. Later, some…
