The sky on
your birthday.
Where Your Elements Came From
The elements in your body come from different cosmic events. The hydrogen, found in every water molecule, originated from the Big Bang. Carbon and oxygen were made by nuclear fusion inside stars. Much of your body's iron was forged during supernovas. Even the gold in jewelry likely came from neutron star collisions.
