Arggh, Spica, really Demeter, earth goddess, could be corn or wheat. Daughter of Kronos, a Titan (see Greek-Saturn thread). But what's in a name? Would it still not be so bright? (kidding about name theft...sort of).
Mickal, that Mensa comment was funny.
You guys are too slow, :wink: it was Champion's turn, but I'm going to steal it and go to bed:
What white dwarf star has almost the mass of our Sun, but is only about four times as large as Earth? Packs a punch.
