You came from all the way out there, as star dust. Can you imagine that more than half of the atoms in your body came from beyond our milky way galaxy? / Jeder von uns kommt von dort draußen, als Sternenstaub. Beinahe unvorstellbar, dass mehr als die Hälfte der Atome in unseren Körpern von ausserhalb der Milchstrasse stammt. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2141950-half-the-atoms-inside-your-body-came-from-across-the-universe/ #Horizons
