all elements everywhere are the same for the most part. there are isotopes of course.
all atoms in the universe with 3 protons in the nucleus are LITHIUM. all atoms in the universe with 26 protons in the nucleus are IRON. There is a reason they are called elements. they are elemental and universal.
Mass spectrometric analysis can tell you the exact composition and the exact ratio of compounds in any object, no matter how far away it is. and I mean EXACT.
all stars fuse hydrogen molecules into helium and then progressively larger elemental atoms, and when they go supernova and explode, the fuse these atoms into iron and all the heavier elements that exist.
someone needs to refresh their astrophysics!
