Cosmic Building Blocks of Life

You are literally made of the same stuff as a star. Everything in the universe,

from your phone to distant galaxies, is built from the same tiny particles called atoms.

Think of it like this: these atoms are your cosmic LEGOs. Depending on how

they're vibing—packed tight, sliding past each other, or flying free—you

get solids, liquids, and gases. When these atoms team up,

they form everything from water to the complex cells that make you. From a single particle

to a living person, it's all just a different arrangement of the same basic building blocks.
