how does that work

i dont know

seems pretty interesting up there

we see the same stars for thousands of years apparently

same day same spot as last year

pretty neat

@chad46 come again?

the stars are actually dead before you see them.

Not all of them

wrt what?

who said they died?

yeah okay, if we're talking about the bloody sun

Umm no

Sirius A, proxima century, etc

Even Betelgeuse

they died?

They’re giant stars we talking the lil ones

Duh

The little ones are even less likely to be dead already

oh the giant stars are dead?

who said?

no the lil ones are

old wives tales

how do you know

Know what?

the small stars are dead

fact man

Oh, ikr

More massive stars die faster

Small ones live longer

OkaY so like by the time the light of a star teachers the earths atmosphere and into your lovely eyeball the star is all ready deAd

@Citizen Z these are all declared facts

I mean, yeah, light travels at about 300,000 km/s. Stars are so far away, even light from the closest stars will take years to get to us travelling at that speed.

oh i c

Depends on where it’s located

And what stage in it’s evolution it is in

you measured the stars?

"Dead Stars" would be stationary points that would not be in our night sky throughout the year since according to the heliocentric model the night sky in december is a 180 flip compared to june. how do we see the same non moving "dead stars" throughout the year

@moebear so how do you know that ?

Thousands of years (light years) is nothing considering they can live for hundreds of millions

Science bitch
