Talk:Sun

Little experiment here, in consideration of the fact that the Sun isn't really a plot-point in any HT work. The closest it gets is its "role" as "Tosev". TR 22:20, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

"Certainly no story has been set on the Sun."

Oh, you witty witty devil, you. Turtle Fan 23:18, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. TR 00:29, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

You know, I wonder if one could say that the sun served as a plot point in "But It Does Move." Turtle Fan 01:48, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

" . . . plus the former planet Pluto."

Pluto never was a planet. It was mistakenly believed to have met the qualifications till Neil DeGrasse Tyson (sp?) realized it never had and they'd been wrong about it all along. Calling it a former planet would be like saying that the speed of light used to be infinite or atoms were once indivisible. Turtle Fan 23:18, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Fixed. TR 00:29, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

The only object I could name offhand which might merit description as a former planet is Alderaan. Turtle Fan 01:48, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

"The Sun . . . by itself accounts for 99.86% of the Solar System's mass."

Wow--That's a lot. Turtle Fan 23:18, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Rather hard to comprehend. TR 00:29, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Very. To the point that I half wish I hadn't read it; it's got my neurons whirring, in vain. Turtle Fan 01:48, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
