the leftover shrapnel of dead stars, currently masquerading as your left elbow.
means Fine cosmic dust scattered through space, or—figuratively—a romantic, magical, dreamy quality sprinkled over something.
from A transparent compound of "star" + "dust," both from Old English (steorra and dūst). The astronomical sense came first, naming the faint dust of comets and interstellar space; the dreamy, romantic sense—"stars in your eyes," a glittering enchantment—grew alongside it in the 19th and 20th centuries, helped along by songs and lovers who liked the sound of it.
