@cecilia

I used to watch his documentary 'COSMOS' long ago. I was facinated the way he tells stories about the universe. He was descibing about the acient people, the planets, comets, meteors and spac explorations, If I recall. I just wonder if you have seen all episodes. Too bad it never get to show that here(locally) anymore. Most of the information there were outdated by now, I guess. :-)

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes...

All the carbon in the Universe, including that needed for carbon-based life forms such as ourselves, has been made in the hearts of stars -  through what is known as the "triple alpha reaction" - where three helium nuclei (alpha particles) fuse to make to make a nucleus of carbon-12...
We are indeed `lucy in the sky with diamonds`

How romantic!

Cheers Blob, I'll remember to drop that one into coversation with my g/f, it'll win some brownie points hehe.

I too used to watch "Cosmos" at a very young age and appreciated Sagan's unique presentation style.  I also read "Broca's Brain" which made for fascinating reading for a twelve year old...  

Would be nice to see "Cosmos" rerun.  Anyway, it's time to go and see how Huygens is getting on...  Fingers crossed...
