[CWBP2] Astrophysics

Yeah I was aware the White Dwarf was no longer functional, but they still last effectively forever. There's dead and really dead. I think we should probably just stick with what you had already worked out, I was just musing about different possibilities. I hadn't really read much on the subject before and the possibilities were all pretty interesting.

I am still concerned about the effect on star gazing. A full moon and something brighter than the full moon would completely wash out a night sky. These effects could be felt possibly for hundreds of years depending on relative locations of the star and planet. Maybe? As far as I can tell one side of the planet would have this orb hanging in the sky for a very long time since the orbit is so long.

Edit: We could I guess set the apparent magnitude to what ever we wish and then adjust the star to match.

By comparison, Sirius A, the brightest extra solar star as seen from Earth is about 50-60 times dimer than our old star.


hum what a headache...
