Zinc

Zinc holds astronomical relevance despite its relatively limited presence in cosmic realms compared to more abundant elements. Originating from nucleosynthesis within stars, zinc exists in smaller quantities, posing 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, play a vital role in astronomical studies. Detected in trace amounts within the interstellar medium, zinc contributes to the observed chemical composition in interstellar clouds, potentially influencing molecular formations.
