More from my Universe... Lesson 2

Some stars don't act like the sun because they are much bigger and their ultimate ends are very different as well. But without these stars, all the elements heavier and bigger than Helium would not exist. These stars blow up and scatter these "new" elements into the space between the stars and sometimes new generations of stars form as a result. These new stars and ther "new" planets may even have the conditions which favor a very special form of matter... life. And so, I'll tell you... Yes, Virginia, you ARE made of star-stuff.
