Uranium is primarily produced in stars through the process of nucleosynthesis, where lighter elements are fused together under the extreme temperatures and pressures within a star's core. This process involves a series of nuclear reactions that eventually lead to the creation of heavier elements like uranium. When the star reaches the end of its life cycle and explodes in a supernova, these newly formed elements are dispersed into space, where they can later be incorporated into planet-forming processes.
