Imagine the universe as a giant kitchen. Stars are like chefs baking bread, they mix up ingredients and then pop them into the oven. When these stars finish cooking, they blow out their creations, tiny bits of dust that become part of new planets and even people, including you! This is cosmic dust. It's not just floating around in space, it helps create whole galaxies.
Examples
- You could say that your body is made partly from stuff that came out of a dying star.
