In cosmology, the concept of elemental abundance helped reveal that hydrogen makes up about 75% of the universe's normal matter, a fact first quantified through stellar spectroscopy in the early 20th century by astronomers like Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. This discovery not only reshaped our understanding of the Big Bang but also highlighted how something as common as hydrogen drives the formation of stars and galaxies across the cosmos.
