Reply to comment by rchive in Enjoy the details. I work 16 hours edit and merge 380 RAW images of the moon and the final result was worth it by daryavaseum

We're not talking star creation or planet creation....

Plenty of asteroids are loaded full of metals and non metals, that's why they burn in different colors when they hit our atmosphere. For example, meteors made from primarily calcium will give off a purple or violet color, while those made out of magnesium will appear to have a green or teal color.

That's why some spots on the moon will appear different colors and in different shades due to age and composition of what hit it.

Well, yeah, but given that when the universe first formed there were no structures like atoms, all atoms that exist today had to have formed somehow. Titanium can't form in star fusion because it's too heavy, so all titanium that exists today had to have formed in some other process, like a supernova. Some Titanium likely "lived" through multiple supernovae to get to where it is today, in asteroids or on the Moon, etc.
