Well, yes. We are built from the Earth - our atoms cycle with the Earth’s over and over again.
The Moon was created after a collision with Earth, so some of our atoms are from the Moon, too.
Then ultimately, the Earth and the Moon were made of leftover material from the sun’s formation.
But the heavy elements that we rely on for life weren’t made in our sun - they only form in much more massive stars, ones that must have existed long before our sun was formed.
So actually, yes! We come from planets, the Moon, and stars themselves.
Our Sun is a second- or third-generation star.
All of the rocky and metallic material we stand on, the iron in our blood, the calcium in our teeth, the carbon in our genes were produced billions of years ago in the interior of a red giant star.
We are made of star-stuff. - Carl Sagan
All the matter on the earth is what we’re made of. But that wasn’t the point, go back far enough and we’re all related. But go back really far enough and the same stars that spat out the heavy elements that make up the moon and planets make up us too.
The hypothesis is that a planet called Theia smashed into the Earth and parts of Theia and the resulting debris eventually clumped back together into a separate celestial object that we now know as the moon. If that’s the case then parts of Theia ended up in Earth and parts of Earth and Theia ended up forming the moon.
With an impact like this, it’s probably more correct to say that the impact of Thea and Earth formed two bodies, that we now call Earth and Luna (the moon). Earth has a lot fo Thea and the thing formerly known as Thea has a lot of Earth. They basically become two liquids impacting and swirling around. The cores are largely the same, but the sarfaces are a bit of a mix.
Isnt that… incest? The moon was born from earth if my space lore knowledge is up to date
If you go back far enough, all of the planets and moons come from the same stuff.
Same with people
People come from moons and planets?!

You see, when two people love each other very much, behind the Denny’s dumpster…

Not incest, biblical!
