We are all stardust.

That oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their light in a supernova.

The iron in your blood? Some massive stars dying, but mainly white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.

The gold ring on your finger? Mostly merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.

@vicgrinberg Thank you Dr. Grinberg. This is great. I've been interested in astronomy since I was a child. I work in IT, but the wonder of all this never leaves you.
