The first problem of man was to find his way about on the earth. Hence the art of measuring the earth (geodesy) became the source of the science of space, which derived its name geometry from the Greek word for earth. From the very outset, however, the measure of time arose from the regular changes of night and day, the phases of the moon, and the seasons. These phenomena forced themselves on mans attention and caused him to direct his gaze toward the stars, which were the source of the science of the universe, cosmology.

The iron in your blood was forged in the nuclear furnace of a dying star. The gold in your jewelry was born in the collision of neutron stars so violent it sent ripples through spacetime itself. The carbon in your DNA survived a stellar explosion and a billion-year journey through space before becoming part of you. Born from Catastrophe reveals the extraordinary truth behind these statements: we are not just made of stardust, but of stardust created through the most violent events in the universe.
