So. This isn’t a full list.

I’m going to add more later for the fun of it.

Below you will see either a poetic or not poetic definition below. Good luck.

Star — Large ball of gas in the sky, but super duper hot, like fry the skin off your hairless cat hot. Your bacon is dead. Kill bill sirens are screaming in the background. Don’t touch the star. Can usually be seen without the telescopes, naked eyes are cool.

Binary — Relating to, composed of, or involving two things. TWO.

Binary Star — Tragic. So tragic. Two stars that revolve around one another. Don’t touch. Don’t ever, ever touch.

Dwarf Planet — Pluto. Too small to be a real planet.

Pluto — Beautiful. Didn’t deserve your hatred. Makes me cry more than I already do. Tiny but will smash. Beyond Neptune, in a cool ring of bodies, called the Kuiper.

Supernovas — We go boom. Boom boom. Biggest boom. A star dies. Tragic. A supernova is a astronomical event that occurs during the last evolutionary stages of the life of a star whose ephemeral demise is marked by one final, titanic explosion. The explosion is no longer a star, it is the end of the stars life.

Death by Supernova — There are two ways stars die by supernova. One, the star feeds off matter from a neighbouring object until it sets off the ignition of a runaway nuclear reaction that leads to its ultimate and transient destruction. Two, the star runs out of its life force, nuclear fuel, and, under its own gravity, collapses in a fiery eruption.

Multiverse — I believe in it. The theory of the multiverse is simple. It’s the hypothetical existence of many universes paralleling each other with differences and similarities. Every outcome is different and limitless.
