"El nitrógeno en nuestro ADN, el calcio en nuestros dientes, el hierro en nuestra sangre, el carbono en nuestros pasteles de manzana fueron hechos en el interior de estrellas en colapso. Estamos hechos de material estelar."
— Carl Sagan

Simplified Meaning:
Everything in our bodies, like the calcium in our teeth and the iron in our blood, originally came from stars that exploded long ago. These stars created the elements we are made of. Just think about it: the stars in the sky are like huge factories making all the building blocks that eventually form everything on Earth, including us. It's like baking a cake where the ingredients came from really far away, but they all combine to make something whole and unique. This idea helps us understand that every part of us is connected to the universe in a very real way. By seeing ourselves as pieces of the stars, we might feel a greater appreciation for life and a sense of connection to the cosmos.
