It’s a sick fact. Sharks are still older than trees tho… permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 years ago This cannot be true. Oh. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/respect-sharks-are-older-than-trees-3818/ This should not be true. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gabu@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago Happens a lot. Sometimes a "star" is actually a whole galaxy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DrinkMonkey@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago I think it’s also worth mentioning that Polaris Aa, the youngest star in the triplet, is also the brightest by 3 orders of magnitude. Without Polaris Aa, we wouldn’t actually consider it as the North Star at all…so I think you are safe to continue using this as a fact. Go blow some people’s minds, everyone! permalink fedilink source parent [–] stockRot@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) Fun fact: the morning Star (first star we see in the morning) is in fact also the evening star (first Star we see in the evening). It's also not a star; it's just Venus. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago ok lucifer permalink fedilink source parent [–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago what a rollercoaster. permalink fedilink source parent
