Holly crap... I know noting about that "Red Dwarf" thing... But I guess it's not too late to learn something about it :blink:

Well, go with a Red Dwarf type star. Technically, you don't have to be referring to a TV show.

What is there to know? It's a dwarf and it's red (either in face like a boiled lobster, or politically - a communist dwarf) :bye:

What the hell Red Dwarf.

Never heard of this series before, I dunno if this ever aired in Germany.
Well, I have to do some research then, could take me a few days till I get a proper avatar

And again, I have no clue as what to take for the signature, yay!

Exactly what I did...
I don't know that TV series so, I'll present some facts about Red Dwarf Stars

Red Dwarf

Red Dwarf stars can range in size from a hundred times smaller than the sun, to only a couple of times smaller.* Because of their small size these stars burn their fuel very slowly, which allows them to live a very long time.* Some red dwarf stars will live trillions of years before they run out of fuel.

Because red dwarf stars only burn a little bit of fuel at a time, they are not very hot compared to other stars.* Think of a fire.* The coolest part of the fire at the top of the flame glows red, the hotter part in the middle glows yellow, and the hottest part near the fuel glows blue.* Stars work the same way.* Their temperature determine what color they will be.* Thus we can determine how hot a star is just by looking at it's color.

Red dwarf stars are by far the most common type of star in outer space. However very few stars that you see in the sky are red dwarfs. This is because they are so small and make very little light. Imagine standing on a mountain. Pretend that there are one million kids five miles away holding flash lights. And 20 miles away there is a light house for ships. You will most likely not see any of the flash lights, while you will very easily see the light house. If the flash lights all glowed as brightly as the light house it would blind you. Like wise if all the red dwarf stars glowed as bright as the bigger stars night time would be very bright.

Quite interesting, right? k:
