Manganese

Manganese assumes astronomical relevance despite its relatively sparse presence in cosmic environments compared to more abundant elements. Arising from nucleosynthesis processes within stars, manganese exists in lower quantities, presenting challenges in its detection and analysis in cosmic settings due to its scarcity. Nevertheless, its spectral lines, primarily observable in the ultraviolet and optical spectra, hold importance in astronomical studies. Detected in minute quantities within the interstellar medium, manganese contributes to the observed chemical composition in interstellar clouds and potentially influences molecular formations.
