stars are like my least favorite astronomical object (so sorry, controversial i know) and so i’m only just sitting here realizing that like stars, as a general topic, is so complex wtf. stellar classification all on its own is a whole thing with many different ways to categorize stars (harvard spectral classes, mk luminosity classes, HR diagram, stellar populations, etc), nevermind stellar evolution, including formation and death, and then stellar spectra and the physics behind that, and then the like actual physical anatomy of the sun and heliophysics, space weather, etc? and the nuclear physics behind fusion? what the fuck man

#ive always been more into cosmology and that mostly just deals with galaxies #i love galaxies !#i took a whole class on stars and it was when i was at rock bottom mentally so i really did not retain anything from it #but i do fucking know we never learned how to actually classify stars #like the basic spectral classes #so sitting here throughout today trying to relearn and reteach myself starting from 0 its like wait i never formally learned this anyway??#most of the class was on stellar evolution 😩😩#like idk i think stars are theoretically cool like oh big giant massive star go boom supernova wow so cool #but like theres. so fucking much physics behind all that its really quite snore actually. idk i think stars are overrated 💁#fucking pp chain vs cno cycle #UGH add nuclear physics onto this list too #meanwhile my whole class about galaxies was just like tee hee. Galaxies #brot posts #astro posting
