I love those @avant-garde!  Especially the first one.  It's very relevant to a lot of issues i've been dealing with for quite a while.

I love that star one!  It's so true literally and figuratively. Every single element in the universe heavier than helium comes from stars, whether the internal processes as they burn or mostly, when they explode.  A fun fact is that you can tell what generation a star is by how much of it is made up of heavier elements.  The very first stars would have been pretty much hydrogen and helium (a tiny bit of lithium) with no heavier elements... because stars hadn't been around long enough yet to form them and those 3 elements were the only ones formed from the big bang.

 

Okay, yes, my inner space nerd just get free for a minute there 🤣

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

@MJG017 thanks for the lesson in astrology today 😂. Always love being able to learn something new 😊

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MJG017 That star stuff one sat with me too 

I only just learned that gold is from space "Gold originates from cosmic events like supernovae and neutron star collisions. Formed through nuclear reactions, gold atoms scatter through space and are incorporated into Earth’s raw materials. Accessible via mining and asteroid bombardment, gold’s origins span billions of years." 

It really made me stop and think about just how magical it is that we get to wear little pieces of outer space @Glisten @Dreamy
