While a "main sequence star" is a real celestial object, a five-pointed star is how stars are often drawn. The comic uses a drawn star shape to be a part of a celestial star system.
The title text similarly uses the * symbol, which is sometimes called a star, to be another real celestial star.

Randall has been, uh, funnier… I thought I must be missing something, a clever joke or some astronomers insider, but no—that's really all there was to it. Well. 2a02:908:c30:5000:b86c:d747:e182:c327 (talk) 07:54, 5 February 2026 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Nice to see that Randall has graduated from the woes of 1029, and now can draw Morocco-style stars :-) --2001:A62:5F7:FB01:BF80:8165:D7C9:B014 08:24, 5 February 2026 (UTC)
The idea of pointed stars alongside normal ones is probably a reference to the James Web Space Telescope. In its images, very bright stars have diffraction spikes, caused by the segmented hexagonal primary mirrors and the three-strut support of the secondary mirror. However, these form 8 spiked images not 5. The Hubble Space Telescope forms 4 spike images, however the effect was not so noticeable with Hubble. 2A12:F41:145B:1300:C59:505F:B2DB:7572 12:19, 5 February 2026 (UTC) dww-uk Add comment
