The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

We are all star stuff.

When we look up at night and view the stars, everything we see is shinning because of distant nuclear fusion.

The sky calls to us. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars.

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.

Meanwhile the Cosmos is rich beyond measure: the total number of stars in the universe is greater than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet Earth.

Otkako su ljudska bića zaposjela Zemlju, noćno je nebo bilo sudrug i nadahnuće. Zvijezde su smirivale čovjeka.Nekima je nebo otvaralo put prema vjeri. Drugima je svemir pružao poticaj za najneobičnija maštanja.

We will know which stars to visit. Our descendants will then skim the light years, the children of Thales and Aristarchus, Leonardo and Einstein.
