#starstuff
New detailed study, 8 x 6 inches, tomorrow morning @everydayorig
“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.”
This quote from Carl Sagan represents one of the most poetic truths of our scientific reality. That the heavy elements that we are made of weren’t created at the beginning of time. Only hydrogen and helium were immediate results of the Big Bang. The rest of the elements were created in the nuclear furnaces of earlier generations of stars that have since exploded and spread their material across the universe. We are literally made of stardust.

T-Shirt Benefit Event: Spacetime Odyssey & Cosmos University
T-shirts available for $11 at The Yetee.
Each year, representatives of The Planetary Society and CEO Bill Nye travel to Washington D.C. to educate Congress about NASA and its planetary exploration program.
$3 from each sale will go toward The Planetary Society, aiding in their continuation to reverse cuts in annual funding for planetary exploration. For 3 years in a row, The Planetary Society has been successful in their efforts, and we need to keep that going!!

Stardust VI
Oil, 16 x 20 in
“When I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us… Many people feel small… But I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars.“
"There is a level of connectivity. That’s really what you want in life. You want to feel connected. You want to feel relevant. You want to feel like you’re participant in the goings on of activities and events around you. That’s precisely what we are just by being alive.”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson

Cosmic Awareness
8 x 6 inches, Detailed study
Available tomorrow on @everydayorig
“We are a way for the cosmos to know itself”
-Carl Sagan
We are part of this universe, not simply within it. We are products of nearly 14 billion years of evolution from an incredibly hot and dense beginning. First, simple atoms of hydrogen and helium had to form as space expanded and cooled. Before a planet could evolve life, these simple atoms had to form stars that would fuse heavier elements. These stars had to burn out in violent explosions that would seed new solar systems like ours with the elements necessary for life. After more than 9 billion years of cosmic evolution, our planet formed and began to evolve life. In this little corner at least, we are the first pieces of the universe with the ability to look out at the night sky and understand it. We are the universe coming to know itself.

Details of Fusion Lighting the Stars
Oil, 18 x 24 inches
Opening tomorrow in ‘Midnight Garden’, curated by @beautifulbizarremagazine at @moderneden Gallery!
__
Stars are continuous nuclear explosions! Not simply fixed masses of hot gas, stars are a balance of two enormous forces: gravity and nuclear fusion. On its own, gravity would crush a star into the oblivion of a black hole or other super-dense entity. But nuclear fusion pushes back, releasing so much energy that the outer layers of the star are literally blown away, aloft from the core, and in equilibrium with gravity. From lightyears away, these cataclysmic explosions flutter as faint candles in our night sky.
Stars live a looong time, billions of years, but eventually the fuel of fusion runs out and gravity prevails. In the span of the universe, stars exist as temporary states of matter that will one day transition into other things. Much of their mass will be crushed. But in the process, many will fuse carbon, the other elements of life, and form planetary nebula. Later, these nebula will condense into new solar systems, and perhaps be part of some other temporary state of matter lucky enough to be able think about it.
