Great! How is this supposed to make me feel? Suddenly size matters and not that I am the center of the universe!

In this game of marbles, we can clearly see how the sun performs against some of the largest stars. Our earth of course is insignificant.

Antares is a star that belongs to Constellation Scorpius. He is 700 times the diameter of our Sun, and 10,000 times brighter (We'll see about that!). And what does Bright Mr.Antares do? He expels a lot of gas that glows brightly and is visible to us from 600 light years away. Ah, see? Flatulence that glows. But, there is one thing Antares can't do, which is stink up the place. Hah! There!

The saying goes:
"Don't blow it - good planets are hard to find”

Now let's try to figure out what that means from the piddling earthlings perspective.
