Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Some of those stars look like they're a sneeze away from a super-nova.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the stellar equivalent of 'morbidly obese'?
The biggest of those stars would make good backgrounds for an SF-nal Empire. You could have smaller star systems orbiting the massive central star and end up with scores or hundreds of habitable planets within sub-light accessible distances of one another.
ReplyDeleteJason...
ReplyDeleteLike the BattleStar Galactica home system?
I would think a really hot star with habitable moons of Gas Giants if the outer planets were in the Goldielocks zone.
Like Endor.
