That heavy elements weren\u2019t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of earlier generations of stars that have since exploded and spread their material across the universe. We are literally made of stardust. This allows us a new and profound feeling of connection to the stars we see in the sky, to the universe, and to everyone in it. I created this new painting to remind us of this, a fact which Neil deGrasse Tyson calls the most astounding fact in the video below. I highly recommend watching it and others such as the Sagan Series. <\/p>\n<p>Most Astounding Fact video: <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/9D05ej8u-gU\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/9D05ej8u-gU<\/a><br \/>\nSagan Series: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oY59wZdCDo0&amp;list=PLF17F07CFC3208E29\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oY59wZdCDo0&amp;list=PLF17F07CFC3208E29<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/robreyart.blogspot.com\/2014\/09\/we-are-made-of-stars.html#sthash.OJf533mc.uvms\" target=\"_blank\">We Are Made of Stars<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>robreyart: We Are Made of Stars Oil, 24 x 30 inches \u201cThe nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars.
