HYCE – HOW YOU CAME TO EARTH

Just think of it: For the briefest moment in the history of the universe, some atoms have piled up to form your body and brain – atoms that came hurtling down from outer space. But from where exactly? Which stars and galaxies are our real birthplace?

Today, thanks to scientific advances and groundbreaking tools, we’ll go on a quest to trace our atoms back to their source – all the way back to the Big Bang. We’ll observe the white dwarf that once forged the carbon in our bodies, the remains of a supernova that once threw out the iron that now has turned our blood red, the remnants of colliding neutron stars that gave us our gold…

We’re off on a captivating journey through the cosmos to uncover our origin story – and discover how we’re all the surprising result of serendipitous stardust.
