The Geological Story of Iron

From cosmic dust to your crops: Understanding iron's journey through Earth's history

Iron: The Element from Star Hearts

Iron is special - it's the heaviest element that stars can make before they die.

When stars run out of fuel, iron builds up in their core, causing them to collapse and explode.

Earth's core is mostly iron - it sank to the center when our planet was molten.

The red color of your soil comes from iron oxide formed 2 billion years ago.
