R136a1 sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy next door to ours. It shines several million times brighter than the Sun. A star like that burns through its fuel so fast that it will live only a few million years, against roughly ten billion for the Sun. Its winds strip away so much matter that it was probably even heavier at birth.
A large share of Earth's water molecules formed in the interstellar cloud that existed before the Sun was even born, more than 4.6 billion years ago. You are literally drinking a cosmic fossil.
By day, the Martian sky looks butterscotch because of fine dust hanging in the air. But at dusk, those same grains scatter blue light forward, creating a bluish glow around the Sun. Rovers have photographed these blue sunsets: the exact reverse of what we see on Earth.
