The greatest man alive not only believed in stars... he believed we were made from stars. From starstuffs to be exact. Everything is made from starstuffs. The atoms in the human body... on earth... everywhere. The six basic elements that cause nucleosynthesis - carbon, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, plutonium, hydrogen - are the same elements that came bursting from the stars and went hurtling throughout the cosmos, colliding, creating solar systems, creating life.
So when I look up at the night sky, I don't feel small. I feel big.
Because not only am I a part of this universe... my atoms came from the stars.
