Among the major questions in astrophysics is the origins of the heavy elements in our Universe that make up the periodic table.
The lightest elements, hydrogen and helium, were formed mainly in the Big Bang that gave birth to the Universe. Somewhat heavier elements, such as oxygen and iron, are forged inside the hot cores of ordinary stars like the Sun and expelled into space when they die
