Asterion

Laying on strange soil, I stare up at my home. The night's sky appears so far from here. You must be wondering "what's a Star doing down here"? To simplify my ordeal, I fell. Why? How? We'll get to that But first what are Stars exactly? Most say we are luminous balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, held together by our own gravity. Nuclear fusion reactions in its core support us against gravity and produce photons, heat and small amounts of heavier elements. But I say that's poppycock
