The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically related to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all the atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.

~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
