In space, between the stars
in the black holes at the centers of galaxies
In the hearts of stars
They were made as part of the big bang

Answer:

In the hearts of stars:

Theory tells us the elements heavier than iron are created by novas

that is when a star explodes, and any heavier elements were once created when a star exploded.
