    I don't think anyone knows the exact maximum planet size or mass. The thing with massive planets is that their strong gravity attracts gas, and they eventually puff up like a giant fluffy pillow, so it's impossible to see how big the solid part actually is.
    "Strong gravity makes me gassy" would be a heck of a bumper sticker.

    Reminds me of something I saw written on a restroom wall one time:

    "There's no such thing as gravity. The Earth sucks!"

    I like iron. I think iron is cool. I once got to touch this big 10 ton meteorite with my bare hands; it resembled Swiss cheese and was the most beautiful piece of pure iron I've ever seen.

    Wow, good guess.

    But I'm not sure that the meteorite they have now is the same one I saw decades ago. It does look similar but not exactly as I remember. Mine seemed smaller, nicer and even cooler, plus the exhibit room, the orientation and the placement have totally changed.
    Anyway, when I knocked on it I nearly broke my knuckles yet it made no sound - that's how massive it was.
    And realizing that it may be billions of years old made my fur stand up in terror - imagine some 4 billion year old alien super-predator-microbe jumping into my hand .......

    You sure you haven't gotten those big ugly shiny balls from getting the shot like Minaj's buddy?🙂
