Scientific paper
Beginning with the Big Bang, most of the 115 or so chemical elements of the periodic table were formed by the chemical processes of nature. The three lightest elements of hydrogen, helium, and lithium were created in the earliest moments of the Big Bang while heavier elements beyond iron were a result of billions of years of nuclear fusion within stars and a more exotic process of neutron capture inside the core of red giants. University of Texas astronomer Chris Sneden explains these processes and how the periodic table of the elements exists today because of these natural processes of stellar and galactic evolution.
