        If you don’t mind me plugging where I got it from:

        Title

        It’s the first episode of the Crash Course: The Universe. Dr. Katie Mack did a great job recontextualizing multiple scientific phenomenon.

        Unfortunately a lot of physics explanations have gotten very cookie-cutter, and she managed to break free of that. I’ve only listened to kne episode so far, but the rest are in my queue

      And anything heavier than iron (IIRC, it’s late here) is only formed when a star dies.

      The more violent the death, the heavier more exotic shit gets created, as a rule.
