The origin of metals

inside stars there is somthing going on called neuclear fission which means the hydrogen is getting compressed into helium. the atoms keep getting compressed until it becomes iron. then the star explodes , the iron cools down and impacts into an asteriod

the rarest metal on earth is irridium which is also the densest
