"That the very atoms that comprise life on Earth are traceable to the cosmic crucibles that are the center of stars halfway across the galaxy, that were manufactured in those crucibles, in stars that had high enough mass that they went unstable in their later years and exploded scattering their rich guts across the galaxy. These are the elements that comprise life as we know it. So that not only are we in this universe, the universe is in us. And we're not just poetically so, we are literally stardust."
~Neil deGrasse Tyson
