:sings:
It’s a great big universe
and we’re all really puny
we’re just tiny little specks
about the size of Mickey Rooney...

If I bought a Nissan Pathfinder and had an unlimited supply of oil, gasoline, tires, and other consumable parts, I wonder how long it would take me to drive that Pathfinder around that star at the equator.

Wow ...big kitty.

Think of the pounds per sq inch gravity

I read once that a teaspoon of matter in a black hole weighs like a supertanker

I imagine a star this big would be heavy dude for like way out

I mean our modest star pulls out to the Oort cloud which is I think over a quarter distance to Proxima Centaur I

Great post

I love this stuff...thanks Nick Sand..lol
