Well, the core of the Earth is mostly iron.

Besides we wouldn't exist if a star, somewhere, sometime, went supernova and created heavy elements. The question is was it our sun or some other star.

I am willing to accept that the cores of Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury are all made of Iron. Why not the sun also?
