Holy shit, red dwarfs are actually death stars?

    All stars are death stars if you get close enough!

    Sol seems to be a life star.

    That's just cause you're not close enough

    I tried jumping as high as I could, but it turns out my momentum is keeping me in orbit around Sol, and it would take an astonishing amount of energy to overcome that.

    Plus, I have a suspicion that I'd succumb to the Death Space before I could get close enough.
