Yes it do, think about it!
Sun, stars. Done.
At least our solar system
Ours is the only solar system anless some other alien grots named their star Sol.
The article "the" in "the solar system" means that we are talking about one specific solar system. It's left for the reader to decide which one should be assumed, but in this case it's actually clear that ours is meant.
That means, it's clear that the meme is talking about our solar system, not some other solar system somewhere nor some bunch of solar systems.
Sol, Solaris, Solarium? … The romans won.
TIL, thanks
More plutonium atoms too
will this not be deadly to drink then? 💀 Radioactive Plutonium is poison afaik
So, 1 star?
Are we not counting Taylor Swift?
I've been living in the solar system for awhile, and lemme tell you, that rating's pretty accurate. Now if only I could find the manager to make a complaint...
There’s more cells in our brain than brains in our entire body.
Big if true
Not that big for some I’m afraid
Mind 🤯 blown
..Wait, what if the Sun had a distant companion star?
Our sun developed in a big cloud together with a whole family of other stars. They all share the same composition. They've tracked most of them. The closest is relatively close by and just a bit heavier than ours.
just a bit heavier than ours.
How rude!
Like a long distance boyfriend from Canada?
you wouldn't know her, she goes to another galaxy
Well, it is true.
I dunno. Samuel L. Jackson is a pretty big star. Scarlett Johansson too.
pic unrelated
Well there are water molecules in the picture ...
Maybe it's a glass of isopropyl.
Don't do this before I've had caffeine.
My hyper caffinated ass read this 8 times before I realized it said star not planets and I was like wtf how many hydrogen are in a water molecule
And neither includes Pluto. Much to my disappointment
And I really hope it stays that way, at least until it's not my problem to worry about anymore.

Nu-uh ‘cause you’re a star and so is my cat.
