We're back with our series on astrophysics and today we're exploring the fascinating process of stellar nucleosynthesis, the creation of elements in cosmos. Inside stars, nuclear fusion occurs where lighter elements fuse to form heavier ones, releasing immense amounts of energy in the process. Hydrogen fuses into helium, helium into carbon, and so on until elements like oxygen, silicon, and iron are created. When massive stars go supernova, they scatter these newly formed elements out into space where they can go on to create new generations of stars. These enriched gas clouds collapse to form new stars and planets incorporating these elements into their composition. Leave us a comment and let us know if you learned something new.
