"Do you spell that C-R-I...?"

So, it's 50 LY from Earth and about 16 times larger, eh? Mu Arae is a yellow-orange star, so I guess whoever gets rocketed here when it explodes won't be that much more super.

Still comes pretty close to hitting the geek trifecta.

Given they'd have developed in a higher gravity environment, one wonders if the hypothetical space-orphan would have the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound... :-)

You'd think they could at least leap 1/8 of a mile.
