Ness Feb 2022 2:24pm, 1 Feb 2022 19,391 posts	0 Ness For the January round up list I’m going to go with a list relating to the classification of stars. Apologies if it’s a theme that’s been used before but I’m fairly new to the 1,500 thread and I like the idea of describing us as stars so here goes! For the real highflyers I give you our first category of stars “Supergiants”. A supergiant is the largest known type of star; some are almost as large as our entire solar system. Betelgeuse and Rigel are supergiants. These stars are rare. When supergiants die they supernova and become black holes. 1. Minimag 229 2. roflaherty 223 3. NDWDave 221 4. pielips 186 5. tuck up 180 6. Torey 178 7. Vincey 177 8. CrispByNature 175 9. Pompey Paul 170 10. Exmoor Runner 170 Next in our classification list are the “Blue Giants”. A blue giant is a huge, very hot, blue star. It is a post-main sequence star that burns helium. 11. John Bach 166 12. speedy¬_cuttlefish 165 13. Hills of Death 163 14. Larkim 159 15. Jenny-far-far 155 16. Mrs B 154 17. Wilding2004 152 18. BigEvilC 150 19. minardi 149 20. slowblonde 147 The next group are still well over the break-even point. I give them the classification, “Red Giant”. A red giant is a relatively old star whose diameter is about 100 times bigger than it was originally and had become cooler (the surface temperature is under 6,500 K). They are frequently orange in colour. Betelgeuse is a red giant. It is about 20 times as massive as the Sun about 14,000 times brighter than the Sun, and about 600 light-years from Earth. 21. Podkin 144 22. Werrington Whirlwind 143 23. nme2no1 142 24. annadav 142 25. Richard-M 140 26. jennyh 139 27. Ultracat 138 28. Benny Turbo 136 29. Mascott 136 30. Westmoors 135 For those skirting close or just above the break-even point, I give the classification, “Red Dwarf”. A red dwarf is a small, cool, very faint, main sequence star whose surface temperature is under about 4,000 K. Red dwarfs are the most common type of star. Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf. 32. Peregrinator 134 33. CogNoscenseme AHA 134 34. faithfulred 131 34. Ness (i.e. me! 😉) 130 35. Northernexile 130 36. oldngrey 128 37. mr d 126 38. mike p 122 39. melbas 120 40. paultopspin 117 And for the final group, who are doing well but are a bit below the break-even point, I give the classification, “Yellow Dwarf”. Yellow dwarfs are small, main sequence stars. The Sun is a yellow dwarf. 41. Akkers 111 42. Rosehip 110 43. Snoot 106 44. Chrisity 105 45. Dudie 100 46. MovingAlong 95 47. Cerrertonia 94 48. DocM 86 49. jonbev 84 50. Neilio 73 51. Nelly 72 52. Garfield 69 53. riggsy99 66 54. IanS 65 55. brucie63 56. Pedro_Perez 35

Rosehip Feb 2022 2:52pm, 1 Feb 2022 23,978 posts	0 Rosehip Nice round-up Ness, thank you Thanks Sharkie hamstring work wouldn’t do any harm anyway, I could do some of those bridges
riggys99 Feb 2022 3:07pm, 1 Feb 2022 757 posts	0 riggys99 Thanks for doing the round up. Decided 1500 for the year would be a better target after not running most of December last year and beginning of this year due to a back injury
