Recent research from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden revealed that the stellar wind drive mechanism is far more complicated than expected, which means that the “journey to the galaxy” of life elements may be challenged. According to the study, the driving force of starlight and stardust alone is not enough to drive giant stars to generate strong winds and transport the basic elements that make up life to all parts of the Milky Way. This discovery comes from the observation of a red giant star, challenging long-standing theories about the spread of the Milky Way's “lifeblood.” The relevant research was published in the journal “Astronomy and Astrophysics”.
