Interesting there's a sun almost as huge as uy and it's only orange.

If orange sun makes Superman not as strong and red sun makes him weak, then blue sun makes him super strong?

How would a small blue sun affect earth?

It would mess up the white balance.

Wolf 359 is one of the closest stars. It's been used in science fiction well before TNG. There was an episode of The Outer Limits about it in 1964.

A pot shot!

Also, shens. If those were really Australian soldiers at Gallipoli, they would look a lot more dead.
