Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nearly every atom from which we are made was once inside of a star. This is because the chemical elements of life, such as carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, were formed through nuclear fusion reactions inside stars. When those stars eventually exploded as supernovas, they dispersed these elements into space, where they eventually became incorporated into new planets and life forms, including us. Therefore, we can say that we are, in a sense, "star stuff."
