Astronomers contribute way more than we could imagine by helping us get news and knowledge about the universe.  

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” – Carl Sagan.

The quote above was said by Carl Sagan, a famous American astrophysicist and writer. If everyone in this world understands that we are nothing, but made up of stardust, there wouldn’t be any issues in this world, agree?
