Astronomy Cast Ep. 107: Nucleosynthesis - Elements from Stars

From September 22, 2008.


Look around you. Breathe in some air. Everything you can see and
feel was formed in a star. Today we’ll examine that long journey
that matter has gone through, forged and re-forged in the hearts
of stars. In fact, the device you’re using to listen to this
podcast has some elements formed in a supernova explosion.
