Holy cow, this planet has 2.5 times the mass of our sun? It’s a whopper alright.

Don’t know about the Twinkies but the cockroaches will. Them buggers were here before us and they still be here when were gone. Any Twinkies left around and the roaches will be chowing down on ‘em.

The *star* it orbits has 2.5 times Msol. I imagine that puts it somewhat like Sirius.
