    Our second-brightest star for this competition is Rigel

    You're a B-type Blue Supergiant - 25x as massive as the sun, 100x as large, and a whopping 120,000x as bright! You are on your way to becoming a type-II supernova, where your incredible mass will cause you to collapse and explode!

    Rigel is...

    2: David Bowie - Space Oddity /149 points


    Well done @Big els , you came so close!

    Which means that our winner is:

    @Scotia
    1: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising /152 points

    You are Eta Carinae

    You're a type-O star, and absolutely humongous! You're 200x as massive as the sun, 500x as large, and a staggering 5,000,000x as bright. You may actually be ready to explode any day (or in a few million years), when you'll likely outshine the full moon in the sky!

    Well done all, and I hope you enjoyed the competition :84:

    On to BOTB where I won't have to run * while I'm running across the country :giggle1:

    Votes, for the curious. Space Oddity received the most 1st place votes, but ultimately it was @Minty who killed Bowie by placing him in the bottom 6...
    Bad Moon Rising was consistently in the top 8 and so pulled ahead in the end.

    Awesome hosting job, @obafgkmlt !!!

    Congrats so much, @Scotia !!!

    As it happens all 3 of those songs were my top 3 picks... though not quite in the order finished overall, but certainly deserving as the best songs in the comp. Well done.

    Once last related song, why did none of us check our horoscopes to see how this would have unfolded? lol
