Physicist Finds Out Why "We Are Stardust..."
ScienceDaily (June 25, 1999) — When Joni Mitchell, in her song "Woodstock," sang, "We are stardust..." she was being factual as well as poetic. Every element on earth, except for the lightest, was created in the heart of some massive star.
And the heaviest elements -- such as gold, lead and uranium -- were produced in a supernova explosion during the cataclysmic end of a huge star's life, says LSU physicist Edward Zganjar (pronounced Skyner).
"Those elements were ejected into space by the force of the massive explosion, where they mixed with other matter and formed new stars, some with planets such as earth. That's why the earth is rich in these heavy elements. The iron in our blood and the calcium in our bones were all forged in such stars. We are made of stardust," Zganjar said.

We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon... we are looking at this picture and liking it.
Lens flare was the easy way out. This could be a great image with better lighting effects...
Thanks YK but I need the flares for my effect.
very nice background
this is good! there is a white dot on her hip though that doesn't seem to fit
Very niceidea, but i really don;t like the lens flare there. Good luck though.
