Not an astronomer, but there's at least one important thing to consider: Stars form in denser regions of gas. However once they grow large enough to start fusion, the solar wind will blow away the gas, halting growth of that star syst

Trying to see if I can work this out. Voyager 2 is 160.7 AU. Light falls off in brightness to the distance squared. So the sun will be 160.7^2 = 25824.5 times fainter for Voyager 2 than it is from Earth. (Since Earth is at 1AU) The appare

This comment hits differently after the Ukraine invasion. I hadn't thought about the sheer level of diplomatic nightmare that has been avoided because Russia can't use cutting off access to the ISS as a bargaining chip.
