Supernova

When a large star reaches the end of its life, there is a massive explosion called a supernova.

Stars normally make new elements by the process called NUCLEAR FUSION.

This involves heat and pressure making positive nuclei stick together to make larger elements. Positive nuclei normally repel each other.

In stars like the Sun, the temperatures are only enough to turn hydrogen into helium.

However, the heat and pressure in a supernova are so huge that nuclear fusion can make ALL of the elements that exist.

Hence all the atoms in your body were made in a supernova billions of years ago. FACT!
