Accepted Answer

The elements that formed initial microbial life are believed to have originated from supernovas, which are explosions that occur when massive stars die. These explosions scatter heavy elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, into space. These elements eventually come together to form planets, including Earth, where life eventually evolved.
