Astronomy/astrophysics, the most overlooked aspect of science. But frankly, who cares if Venus is the morning star, or that there are 3 stars in Orion's belt? Down here on earth, money matters. 1 Like |

johnydon22:But there is no need to waste time on mars because if this our sun goes in to extinct in coming 400million years, all the nine planet or more in this sun galaxy will go also, the Saviour at that time will be the discovery of another sun with a habitable planets surrounding it |

Rayhut:400Million years is too near for the sun to go Red-giant.. More like 4.5billion years. But i think extra-terrestrial planets are a better bet 1 Like 1 Share |

PLS d sun Is not white in Colour.... The following pix are from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory... Chemically, about three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen , while the rest is mostly helium . The remaining 1.69% (equal to 5,600 times the mass of Earth) consists of heavier elements, including oxygen , carbon, neon and iron..... The Sun is like a massive ball of Fire.

o42austino:Bro this is what is known as False-color imaging used to bring an imaged object toned down to a more eye receptive colouring. F-C image of the sun ![]() here is a true-colour imaging ![]() The sun is a white star though emits more yellow color spectrum slightly than others but in actuality the yellow spectrum difference is too small. The sun appears white in colour .. the images you posted above are false colour rendering to show more details which is impossible if rendered in true colour thanks boss 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22:I still can't wrap my mind around how we still have stars that are far far bigger than our own star. How minute the earth is comparison to the universe. How insignificant we all are in comparison to the universe. How big the universe is to contain billion of stars. To even imagine if I die and reincarnate millions of time I won't still witness the sun finally dying 5 billion years away! Annoying that in my lifetime I will never witness a spaceship landing on the sun talkless of the universe. This is crazy. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

kevoh:i think terraforming an entire planet would be incredibly expensive Attention should be placed more on technologies such as warp drives, its theorecticly possible. we have found gravitational waves something einstein himself thoght impossible so in science alot can happen i believe if negative mass can be found or observed then we would move alot closer to technologies such as warp drives |

Interesting piece. I have always been fascinated about the sun and other planetary bodies. But, i think its actually not wrong to say that the sun is stationary when we look at it in relation to the solar system. But, when looked at in relation to the Galaxy/milky way, then it is correct to say the sun is in motion. The sun literally gives live to the earth. A day should be set aside by every country on earth to celebrate this powerful star called the SUN. |

luvmijeje:just one galaxy contains hundreds of billions (about 200 billion thereabout) of stars, and same value (approximately not exact) goes for galaxies... so you have trillions if not zillions of stars. (hope I ain't giving you a headache?) 1 Like |

taurus25: Anything is possible in science. If we can land on the moon, we should be able to conquer the sun. |
