INSpiREzine Stars! | Page 2

"The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff."

- Carl Sagan

Welcome to the third issue of INSpiREzine!

Have you ever looked up at the night sky, shimmering with stars, and wondered about those glimmering gems that have fascinated scientists and scribes alike for thousands of years?

Are we really all made up of the bits and pieces of elements forged in the hearts of dying stars billions of years ago and hundreds of millions of light years away?

The thought that we are literally connected to one another and to the Universe by this cosmic trail of chemical debris makes me feel tiny and insignificant yet mighty and invincible all at the same time.

I like math AND I like art. People always want to know if I am going to be a scientist or an artist. I still have not decided. Maybe one or the other, neither or both…!

I hope you enjoy the third issue of INSpiREzine!
