Some, probably yes; but most of the heaviest, probably not.

Getting the biggest atoms out of supernova's in anything approaching the needed amounts had always been iffy (just not enough time to jam that many neutrons in); leaving NS collisions as a more attractive source. But until a few months ago we'd never been able to detect one. Now we have, and it produced enough that if estimates of how common they are are also correct (we should have a reasonable handle on this number in a few more years), that they've produced most of it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
--Zachris Topelius

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.
