A song from the blockbuster Hindi movie "Kabhie Kabhie" had this hugely popular song:

And in another popular song from the movie Pakeezah, the heroine sings to her lover:
"...Chalo dildaar chalo; Chaand ke paar chalo
Let us go my beloved; Let us go beyond the moon
Hum hai tayaar chalo;
I am ready
Aao kho jaaye sitaaron mein kahin; Chhod de aaj yeh duniya yeh zameen
Hum hai tayaar chalo;
I am ready
Aao kho jaaye sitaaron mein kahin; Chhod de aaj yeh duniya yeh zameen
Let us get lost in the stars; Let us leave this world and this land..."
(Translations of songs from fan clubs!)
Well, now it is official! Turns out, 50 per cent of the atoms in our body do come from stars across the universe!
Every time a star dies, it bursts out in the form of a huge "Supernova" spewing out tons of gases into the universe. The explosion gives rise to high speed galactic winds which ferry the particles in the gases across galaxies.

The image stayed with me. The idea of a giant butterfly of hot gases hurtling through space was awesome, and inspired me to compose the painting below.
Clearly, "...there are more things in heaven and earth, .....Than are dreamt of!...."
