Re: APOD: Solar Flare from a Sharper Sun (2014 Nov 22)

I noticed this APOD said the CME was mostly Iron and Helium. This is really interesting! Why is it the first atom to form, and the last, before the star dies? Why those two in particular and not a mix of the full composition of the star?

Thanks!
