other huge lumps of rock would fly off into deep space (conservation of momentum innit)

tl;dr the tides would get a lot smaller.

The tarantula nebula is 6,802,720,000x bigger than the sun.

The human population on Earth is 6,820,000,000

So basically: If the sun were one person, the tarantula nebula is the entire population of Earth. Pretty cool.

>> No.1002302

>>1002273
Well, the oceans would equalize. No tides. Also, the earth would begin to either tilt more or rotate less, I can't remember which. Either is extremely bad.
