"In the Scrotum constellation, all of the star systems have two balls of fire."

That might mean that solar flares in the Scrotum system are simply cases of premature ejection...

If this star’s size is compared to our planetary orbits, what planet’s orbit would it’s size encompass?

It would cover out at least to Jupiter. Let me get my tape measure.

Barbra Streisand is one of ‘em.

Bada-boom, bada-bing, tssssssshhh (cymbal roll). :-)

I find it astounding that there are scientists...astronomers...who who,despite being in a position to appreciate the grandeur of the universe,refuse to entertain the possibility that there's a God.

Many do and did believe in God. This includes many famous and not so famous astronomers. So what specifically is your point?

“And in its sky was such a sun as no opium eater could ever have imagined in his wildest dreams. Too hot to be white, it was a searing ghost at the frontiers of the ultraviolet, burning its planets with radiations which would be instantly lethal to all earthly forms of life. For millions of kilometers around extended great veils of gas and dust, fluorescing in countless colors as the blasts of ultraviolet tore through them. It was a star against which Earth’s pale sun would have been as feeble as a glowworm at noon.”

― Arthur C. Clarke, Childhood's End

When our Sun goes Red Giant, it will expand to the orbit of Mars. Everything inside that orbit will be vaporized...

I'm gonna need at least a week's notice on this. Okay?

Check my post again.I never claimed that no astronomers believe in God. My point (badly made,it would appear) was that there shouldn't be a *single* astronomer who doesn't at least accept the *possibilty* that there's a God (making them “agnostics”).

Ya mean possibility? Btw, you don't make the rules regarding what people should believe and or how many should believe or accept whatever you believe. It doesn't work that way.

Deneb in the Constellation Cygnus is a true giant.
