![Comic. [Two people with tiny star floating above display on table.] PERSON 1 with ponytail: Now, your grandmother said this was a relic low-mass population III star, from the first generation of stars. Unfortunately, the high iron content shows that it formed much later, after several rounds of supernovas. I’m afraid it’s a population I star. PERSON 2: Aw, darn. Well, it still has sentimental value.

![4-panel comic. [Person surrounded by glow talking to second person with hair in a bun holding a hoe] (1) PERSON 1: Oh hi! Guess my time machine works. How’s life in the iron age? PERSON 2: Not bad. Developing new kinds of plows. PERSON 1: Cool. PERSON 2: Also my brother was just lost at sea. (2) PERSON 1: I’m sorry. PERSON 2: It’s OK. I think sea navigation is probably impossible. (3) PERSON 1: Oh yeah, you don’t have the compass, right? PERSON 2: The what? PERSON 1: The weird rock that always points north? PERSON 2: What are you *talking* about? (4) PERSON 1: It *does* sound ridiculous when I say it out loud. Anyway, spoilers for the magnetic compass. Sorry. PERSON 2: What’s a spoiler? PERSON 1: ...Spoilers for the concept of a spoiler, too.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreihmm6hxi4khyhlyxolzvltg4jzjyzxebwnuckylk6cik54jrpxd3q)
