Everything in our Solar System, including the Sun and all life on Earth, were created out of material forged long ago in fiery stellar furnaces. In the hot dense cores of long dead stars the material most vital to life was created. However, the stellar origin of many elements is unknown although we can make guesses, from observations of stars and by bringing together ideas from different scientific fields including astrophysics, nuclear physics and geochemistry. Using the latest theoretical techniques together with the most recent experimental data, it is possible to piece together the clues to unravel the mystery of the origin of the elements.

我们太阳系中的一切，包括太阳和地球上的所有生命，都是由很久以前在炽热的恒星熔炉中锻造的物质创造出来的。在长时间死亡的恒星炽热致密的核心中，产生了对生命最重要的物质。然而，许多元素的恒星起源是未知的，尽管我们可以通过对恒星的观察和汇集包括天体物理、核物理和地球化学在内的不同科学领域的想法来进行猜测。使用最新的理论技术和最新的实验数据，可以拼凑出线索。 来解开元素起源的谜团。
