Hi Jamie best work as ever from you. Thx.
Would it be possible to add the planetary nature of the spectres to your list ?
That would be great !
Greez 🤗
The spectral class is like a scientific version of the planetary nature.
Yes i know Jamie…
But maybe could you add those spectral class plantary meanings to yr gigantic list?
Maybe if it is to much work we could start a project everyone here could contribute ?
Oh sorry Jamie i wanted to post this on the site with yr fixed stars list…
