“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

- Carl Sagan

Did you know that every single atom in our bodies is made of stardust? Planets silently shape our lives, just like how the moon’s pull affects ocean tides. The planets have a subtle sway over us, and their movements echo through our lives, similar to the way the sea dances to the moon’s rhythm.

The oxygen we breathe, the carbon fueling our muscles, the calcium in our bones, and the iron in our blood were all forged inside ancient stars. Hydrogen and helium started things off at the universe’s big bang, while the heavier elements were born in stellar furnaces. The iron in our blood and the calcium in our bones are cosmic hand-me-downs from stars that lived billions of years ago.

We, as individuals, constitute integral elements within the broader cosmic framework, constructed from the same cosmic particles composing stars. This awareness fosters a deeper appreciation of the harmonious interplay connecting the celestial domain and terrestrial existence.
