Humans are at least partly made from matter that created when suns exploded in distant galaxies, scientists say.
New research suggests that half the matter in the Milky Way — our home galaxy — comes from other galaxies throughout the universe.
As reported in Engadget, scientists from Northwestern University, University of California San Diego, California Institute of Technology, University of California Berkeley and the University of Toronto used a supercomputer to determine how galaxies are formed and the origins of the matter that would contribute to their growth.
