Stardust
Massive stars burn much hotter than that the Sun and are strong sources of UV radiation. They are capable of fusing heavier and heavier elements, elements such as Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen and so on up to Iron.
If you have ever wondered where all the chemical elements came from, the answer is that nearly all of them were made inside of massive stars. The very material in our bodies was once inside of a massive star.
We are all made of stardust!
