I recently saw a quote that "we're all made of stardust" and it felt so cheesy. My depressed mind wanted to shit on it. But I thought a little further, and technically it's not wrong. The only place iron can be made is in the heart of stars, but it's not energetically favorable to make it. So once all the previous atoms are fused and the only place left to go is to iron, the star begins to die. All iron atoms. The ones bound to your red blood cells, the ones rusting away on your bike. The ones your anemic friend has to take so she doesn't pass out. It's all universal dust and decay in the end.

we're so lucky to be alive in a time where we have the technology to see these photos. no humans have ever been able to see these things before. the universe is so beautiful. id love to take a tour of the universe when I die. to see the pillars of creation, to experience what happens inside of a black hole and what is on the other side, to find out what is at the great attractor, there's so many things I'd love to see that I know I never will, and it makes me sad, but I know there are so many people who came before me that never got to see even this much. so I am forever grateful to this archive of photos from our universe.
