What we are made of - star stuff! / by Mirena Rhee

I always crush on NASA really hard! I am no longer on Twitter because it always ends up derailing my train of thought into comments and such useless bot stuff. So I just sign on and first read Elon Musk to check on the state of the muskanity and then I check NASA for all the star stuff to see where all the rovers are and what's happening.

There are so many NASA accounts, I used to follow them all on my old Twitter account but that ended up sucking a lot of my time which I could use creatively on something that I really care about so now I'm always selectively pinpointing things like what's happening with the Webb telescope.

And I found this absolute gem of an illustration created by a lot of awesome people at NASA's Goddard space flight center.

We are made of stars for real

I was looking at the image and I'm like so how did these elements disperse throughout the universe?


It has been probably a couple of years since I stopped typing, I now almost exclusively use voice to text and just edit. So I quickly yelled at my phone how did the elements travel through the universe and another wormhole opened up.

I ended up on another amazing site of NASA made for kids which means it fits me perfectly
