This is meteorite related in that, well, if this finding pans out, then the
element has to be supernova generated, and present in meteorites (and meteorite
parent bodies), too. And, depending on the chemical properties, maybe even more
highly concentrated in meteorites than in the Earth's crust. If you look hard
enough, you might find them in meteorites.
(But mostly, just a cool story)
