Although I know very little about stars, planets and meteors, this is a very interesting article JD.

That gas and dust rings help in the making of comets and asteroids and also planets is amazing.
It seems so strange and unbelievable to me that the senior stars could borrow material from nearby stars to construct new worlds!

That is a truly fascinating article. Thanks for posting it, jd!

Damn. Well, that kinda scares the hell out of me. Just hope it never happens here in my lifetime...

In all seriousness, thanks for posting this, JD. Muchos interesting.

Old bears can do whatever the hell they want, as long as I'm out of their way...
