The historic search for atoms and their stellar origins is truly one of the greatest detective stories of science. In effect, it offers two epics the birth of atoms in the Big Bang and the evolution of stars and how they work. Neither could be told without the other, for the stars contain the key to unlocking the secret of atoms, and the atoms the solution to the secret of the stars.
