how exactly are we made of stardust

1.10K views

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!

Stars are pressurised ovens, put stuff in (electrons, neutrons protons), bake the shit out of it, then the oven collapses and then explodes spitting out all these juicy tasty heavy elements that then form the lego blocks of our bodies…
