I tried to make an initial explanation, but then someone beat me to it and I made a fool of myself on the page trying to add a comment where it didn't go. I fixed it, but I am ashamed ;~; 172.69.34.15 23:31, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

It's all good. As long as you learn from it, and we learn what useful things you want to say, nothing at all to worry about... All power to your typing fingers! 172.70.85.66 00:15, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Exoplanets nevertheless exist because, alongside the visible diffraction spikes that chop them up, there are invisible diffraction spikes that reassemble them. 162.158.158.136 00:32, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Why does the spike slice the planet instead of the planet breaking the tip off the spike? Are the spikes like enormous light sabers? Barmar (talk) 00:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
