Hi cmdrs, been reading this threat and got idea :S
first of all - astronomy and stars - not my cup of tea, sorry
conditions for barnacles to thrive
1. nebulae
2. ?
3. ?...
if barnacles are live, I could make presumption - it needs billions years to evolve, for one generation to grow should be - few hundred or thousand years (may be million or few, have no idea
)
1. pleyades nebulae is good place to find barnacles
2. nebulae good conditions for barnacles to thrive
3.
7 sisters stars do not belong to nebulae, it just hapened they are in the same location in the galaxy
conclusion:
most of cmdrs looking in wrong place - we should to look in star systems who belongs to pleyades nebulae, has relations to it - older = better
sorry for my english, hope some people who know astronomy could understand my writings and guide to right systems
thanks o7
Saulius
