I get that all of the elements that make us are from stars but I just can’t wrap my head around how I am made of star dust… is this just a broader way of looking at the creation of elements in the periodic table or am I literally made of star dust.
Sorry if this was a stupid question!

If you really want your mind blown then think about how everything that makes us up comes from a different star to the one we orbit. A nameless star or stars gone billions of years before Earth even formed. The only way to even see it and give it a name would be to travel billions of lightyears from Earth instantly and look back. Right now with the James Webb we are taking pictures of the stars that have potentially given rise to who knows how many civilisations.
