Really surprised it’s not hit the roche limit.
How far is it from its star? The article doesn’t seem to say
I’m off to work, hon. See you next year.
Cuál es su distancia con la estrella?, me parece que en el artículo no dice
Earth-sized…8 hours?! Holy shit
A birthdayparty could only be a fart. Nice.
Bet it really sucks trying to get all your gardening done in that 2 minute springtime every year…
Can someone explain the photo to me? I assume it’s a digitally rendered photo, but if so, why make it so small and blurry?
This got me wondering….is there a fastest measured object in the universe?
Just 90 light years away.. lol we cant even survive 0.1% the distance of 1 light year with existing technology
