There are more hydrogen atoms in a single water molecule than there are stars in the entire solar system.

This comment deserves its own meme.

Are there stars in our sky which are less than 100 yo?

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 6 points 3 months ago

Well, im not an astrologist, so I only know what I know from like.. middle school class trips, but there are stars being born all the time im pretty sure :3

Are they observable in our sky at a 100 years old? Probably not :3 space is massive so light takes a while to get here at that distance

It's all relative in space ๐Ÿ˜…. But I could reformulate my question: are visible today in our night sky stars that weren't visible less than 100 years ago?

Not exactly the question, but while looking into it I found this :3 a star visible once every 80 years

In order for the stars to actually be less than 100 years old, they would also need to be with a hundred light years of us.

She didn't say there are any.

I love this, it also reminds me of people who speak enthusiastically about mundane topics.
