Our Solar System Was Born in the Bubble Created by the Death of a Giant Star, Say Scientists

And he has the grant money to prove it.

suggest that our solar system formed billions of years ago in a vast "bubble" of gas and dust around a giant, long-dead star

The solar system was spawned by Orson Welles???

[NohSpinZone]

BS. It was formed by excess carbon dioxide generated by thoughtless capitalist pigs.

[Larry Lucido]

Well, it wasn’t Don Ho.

“Wolf-Rayet Star”?

Great Flaming Wolf Spiders!!!

[Ken H]

Heh!

[Larry Lucido]

I'm thinking flaming globes of Sigmund.

[Don Corleone]

What does Raj think?

[beethovenfan]

Bubblehead researchers.

[antidemoncrat]

I think I remember when that happened.

First, I did not read the article, there was a time I would have, I loved this stuff, but, after all of the global warming BS and the current “Professors study indicates...” which we have seen, I do not believe or trust these people any longer. Sad.

It amazes me how scientists just “know” this. /sarc

Here is another article that obviously requires my ability to translate science stuff into language that even an idiot like me can understand.

Once upon a time there was a star. Not just any star. A big star. I’m talking a star so big that even Joy Behar’s giant head could fit in it. Yeah. Huge.

This star had crumbs on it. I don’t know where the crumbs came from. Maybe it was eating a muffin. A blueberry muffin. And some crumbs fell off.

And then the solar winds picked up the crumbs. That makes the solar winds something like Merry Maids.

Then, a big bubble formed. Why? Who knows? Maybe the solar wind Merry Maids were using that bubble cleaner.

So, here’s how this works out.

The huge-headed Joy Behar was eating a blueberry muffin and she spilled some crumbs and the solar wind Merry Maids came with bubble cleaner stuff and made a big bubble that we now live in.

Lol!

Thanks for posting, Civ.

Intriguing to think that Earth humans can possibly trace a large share of the atoms in our bodies to a specific hyper-dense star carcass floating some place nearby in our celestial neighborhood.

[SkyDancer]

Nope. Elron Hubbard.

[freedomtrail]

GOD.

[Getready]

Its also intriuging that we can trace that very large star to a speck so tiny there are no atoms...no gravity...no mass..no physics as we know it...a.... unknowable entity...a “singularity”....OM baby..and double OMMMMM..
