Very very sorry for the lack of posts lately! Sometimes it just slips my mind and I get out of the habit of writing posts. 🙂
This is a close-up of my new saxophone. I’m attempting to learn how to play it as it’s supposed to be the easiest thing to play after playing the flute (something I’ve been doing for a few years). Flute was so much easier – and lighter!

That means a massive 94% of the autographs said to be written by the Beatles have been faked!

Fact #010
We are all made of stardust.
It may sound like something from a child’s imagination, but this fact is actually completely true, when you look at it from a certain angle.
All naturally-occurring life that we know of is based on the element carbon. It is the foundation of life and life could simply not exist without it. Carbon is formed when a star dies and it explodes, unable to fuel itself and release light, the star collapses under it’s own weight. This process is called a supernova explosion, and carbon is one of the waste products of the procedure.
So that means that, because the human body is made of 18.5% carbon, which comes from supernova explosions, which are the death of stars, we are all made of stardust.
I found out about this fact on a documentary I was watching on television the other day called: Chemistry: A Volatile History. The power of the Elements. The way the presenter (Professor Jim Al-Khalili) described it made me smile and want to write this post. 😀
