Part 3/11:
Using advanced energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), the team characterized the elemental makeup, focusing on core points on the spheres and their peripheries. The findings are intriguing:
Outer Layers: Many of the crenellated spheres are coated with what appears to be silicon dioxide (SiO₂), possibly combined with calcium compounds—a sign of terrestrial contamination or natural oxidation layers.
Inner Structures: Inside these spheres, elements such as iron, chromium, nickel, manganese, and silicon are prevalent. The iron-rich areas predominantly consist of iron and oxygen, forming what appears to be steel-like material. The presence of nickel and silicon indicates complex alloy formation or extraterrestrial alloying processes.
