As I wrote before, an educated person knows the answer even if he thinks that he doesn't. When celestial hydrogen is created in a sufficient amount and clumps together under its own gravity it forms a huge dense ball that goes nuclear. Over time the hydrogen cooks in the nuclear furnace and forms new elements. Eventually the star explodes and the residue recyles.
