Extracting star poison from cereal!!
New video posted to the YouTubes! Did you know you can extract iron from your cereal with a powerful magnet? How weird/cool is that?
Iron is important for humans to eat because we use it to create hemoglobin, which is a protein that transports oxygen in our blood.
But it is first made in the center of massive stars! ⭐
A star is like a big bright beautiful machine that turns lighter elements into heavier ones. In massive stars, hydrogen is fused to become helium, which is then fused to become carbon, to oxygen, to silicon, and finally silicon is fused to become a solid core of iron
And once that happens - oh my stellar friend, I'm so sorry to tell you, this is like poison to you - because fusing silicon to iron takes more energy than it produces. Which will cause our friend the star to... eventually die 💀 in one way or another (supernova, collapse into neutron stars, or become a black hole).
((Die or GLOW up???))
Thank...
