[@rosemarym5334]

Good. At least you aren't gonna get star struck. 😂😂

[@Deeplycloseted435]

I usually open by introducing myself. A lot of people start with a compliment, but this can scare away a shy star. If your introduction is met with a smile, then move to a compliment, but not about the star’s physical appearance, rather a star’s accessories. “Hey, that’s a really nice planetary system you got there. Must have taken a long time to develop?”

[@Deeplycloseted435]

And DO NOT ever mention anything about sun spots. Whether too many or not enough, they are really sensitive about this subject.

[@jondilinger8639]

One Dates a Star by: 1. Wearing the finest fire proof suit one can buy. 2. Keep the dates no longer than the suit will take. 3. To avoid your Date from a supernova, don't look at another Star. 4. Find fun places to go and avoid those stealth stars. They can suck you in before one can blink.

[@Ngamotu83]

If you're going to date a star, then make sure you're okay with your partner outshining you.

[@klutterkicker]

This is very interesting! On a similar note I hear astronomers talk about finding a star's distance by red or blue shift? I've always wondered how they can tell the shifted color from a non-shifted color.

[@TheDanEdwards]

" how they can tell the shifted color from a non-shifted color" - spectroscopy. And, each kind of chemical compound, even if it is just an element, has a characteristic spectra. So for example, make a spectrogram of a star and see where (in frequency) the characteristic Hydrogen emissions end up.

[@klutterkicker]

@@TheDanEdwards Ah okay, so hydrogen will be the dominant peak even in stars with different colors and composition.

[@michaelblacktree]

I don't think the hydrogen needs to be dominant. There just needs to be enough to provide spectral data. But I think most stars are predominantly hydrogen. And as mentioned above, the hydrogen will have a spectral fingerprint, so to speak. Scientists look for that fingerprint, and check if it's been shifted up or down the spectrum.

[@OzoneTheLynx]

I love how you can missinterpret the titel in 3 different ways and all of them are amazing questions XD

[@natewright1197]

[@samwill7259]

So our sun is a star that doesn't exist in a stellar cluster. My question is: would we notice if it did? If our sun existed as a part of a stellar cluster like most other stars seem to be, assuming life like us still sprang up on this blue marble of ours, would there be any tangible or noticeable differences from our human perspectives?

[@golwenlothlindel]

yes. There would be a lot more stars very close by. In the best case scenario, our nights would be significantly brighter than they are. In the worst case scenario, there would be a star close enough to pull the planet out of the ecliptic and that gets weird real fast.

[@justinpyle3415]

Most of us wouldnt recognize a siginificant difference. unless such clusters are statisticaly located significantly closer to galactic centers, they might be im not sure, in which case the night sky would be much brighter than we are used to.

[@petrichor3797]

So you mean our sun is... single!? 😳

[@Timelord79]

It’s highly likely our sun was once part of a cluster after being formed in a stellar nursery not unlike the pillars of creation or the great Orion Nebula. Eventually gravity did it‘s thing and flung it out on a solo journey around the Milky Way. Astronomers are actively looking for other stars matching the composition and age of our sun to determine where the sun might have come from originally, I believe?

The most important thing to remember is that a star will not settle down and date you. You're just going to accept a parasocial relationship. Also, keep in mind that dedicating yourself to spending time with a star can be hazardous since it's so easy to get burned by their attention, so make sure you use protection.
