The concept that stars are formed from stardust is rooted in the work of various scientists over time, but it was primarily popularized by Carl Sagan in the 1980s. He famously stated, "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff," highlighting the connection between the elements in our bodies and those formed in stars. This understanding is based on the processes of stellar nucleosynthesis and the lifecycle of stars, where they create heavier elements that are eventually dispersed into space when they explode as supernovae.

Compare the elements in an early prostar and those in a young star formed star dust of older stars?

In an early protostar, the dominant elements are hydrogen and helium with traces of heavier elements produced in previous stellar generations. In a young star formed from star dust of older stars, the composition will include heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and iron, which were created in the cores of older stars and then dispersed into space through supernova explosions. These heavier elements enrich the gas and dust from which younger stars form, leading to a more diverse elemental composition.


What is a group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together?

A group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be either open clusters, which are loosely bound and contain young stars, or globular clusters, which are tightly bound and contain older stars.

What ingredients are needed for a star to form?

Stars cannot form, because all the stars were made in the beginning when God created the Heaven and the earth. A lot of stars have been see to blow up, called novas, and super novas if they're really big, but never, has one star been seen to form. An argument that has been used to claim that stars can form is that if 20 stars next to each other blow up, the the dust remnants of them can come together to form a brand new star. The problem with this is that, due to Boyles Gas Law, when dust in outer space comes together, it creates heat, and that causes the dust to move away again, so using this logic, stars cannot form from star dust, and if the dust could come together, you lose 20 stars to make just one new one, that is still losing, not gaining.
