Astronomy factoid of the day
the Sun = G type dwarf = chibi-G
And knowledge is power.
Why do I get this internet survey vibe from this excerpt?
G dwarfs like the Sun live a long time, steadily burning hydrogen for about ten billion years, and, if they’ve got suitable planets they can provide happy environments for life to take hold and for technology to blossom.
It would make for a decent "What stellar object are you?" Like you are a neutron star, compact and dense, others inexoriably gravitate towards you. Or how bout you are a supernova - flaming and explosive, you are but a shell of your former self.
