Wonderful!
Is it still considered true that the first generation of stars generated mainly He
And the second generation generated the rest, such that
Earth is largely constructed of the remains of dead second generation stars?
It’s a wonderful, compelling #SciComm story, and I want to get it right.

That said, given when the solar system was formed, the material most we are made off was processed at least one more time...
