From Scientific American

You’re Made of Stardust Older Than Earth Itself

Here’s a mind-bending truth:

Every atom inside your body is ancient — far older than your bones, your DNA, or even our planet.

🔹 Hydrogen atoms, the most abundant in your body, were created 13.8 billion years ago, in the first seconds after the Big Bang.

🔹 Carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, iron and other crucial elements were forged inside massive stars and blasted across the galaxy when those stars exploded as supernovae.

🔹 When our solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago, these star-made elements gathered into planets — and eventually into you.

-A

🔹 Your body contains around 7 octillion atoms (7×10³⁰), constantly recycling through air, water, food, and life forms. You’re not a fixed structure — you’re a temporary cosmic arrangement.

So yes — you are literally a piece of the universe that learned to think, feel, and ask questions.

A star’s ashes shaped into a human being. 🌌✨
