Praise and worship to a nuclear fusion ball spewing out deadly radiation and insane temperatures over 100,000,000 miles away, killing people who remain in direct explosion for too long, and that occasionally spits coronal mass ejections that temporarily strip the protection earth has from all of that and even occasionally fries the very technology that makes our modern way of life possible?
Meh, there’s worse religions I suppose 🤷♂

@Zaphod42 Mind you, as stars go ours is quite stable and predictable so I understand. I wonder how many stars are exactly like ours out there?

@Oneofthestormboys Counting both G type and F type main sequence stars, roughly 12% of the stars in our galaxy 🤷♂

@Zaphod42 That’s more than I thought!

@Oneofthestormboys Well, F types are more rare and burn hotter and have more radiation output, but a planet in the habitable zone with a sufficient oxygen content in the atmosphere could theoretically have a dense enough ozone layer to allow for life to arise. But those only account for roughly 3% of stars. G types like ours account for roughly 9%, and are more forgiving.
