Why is the sky blue?

Ok Hizuka takes points for being mr. funny, but here's the reason:

Red photons travel through the earth's atmosphere relatively unimpeded, because of their relatively long wavelengths. Blue photons however, kay shorter man ang ilang wavelengths, bump around, scattered by the molecules of air in our atmosphere. by the time they reach your eye, they appear to be coming from everywhere in the sky, and thus making the sky appear blue. (from Phil Plait's "Bad Astronomy")

well, you got the correct answer Rod, it's your turn to ask the question.

[rodsky]

Question: The most common element in the universe is Hydrogen. Wala ma'y laing elements unta in space, naa lang sila kay tungod ani nga butang--so where do the other elements (all the elements in periodic table) come from?

They are MADE of atoms--I'm talking about a REAL place in the universe where they come/emanate from.
