It's my understanding that suns (stars) are powered by nuclear Fusion, not electricity. So I am a tad confused about anodes and cathodes being involved.
As it relates to Saturn being a former sun, I find that improbable as well, because nuclear Fusion doesn't just shut down and turn back into an inert gas ball the size of a planet. I could be wrong on that though, I often am.
One thing I think I know is that when the nuclear Fusion process reaches Iron (Fe, #26), this is the point at which gravity overpowers nuclear Fusion and a star explodes in a supernova.
The supernova explosion is what creates all natural elements higher than 26. Many of these elements are within each of us, which means we are all made of former stars.
So next time you look at the stars, you can take wonder that a little part of them makes up a big part of you.
I will check it out. I enjoy learning new things. Thanks for sharing.
One question I have:
If the outside temperature is measured in the millions of degrees, and one is measuring the heat of a sphere, how does one measure the temperature on the inside, at the core, if the measuring instrument must pass through millions of degrees to measure the center, which is in the thousands? I can't think of any probes that could pass a million degree barrier and retain accuracy after doing so. Can you give me the TLDR on that? Thanks!
One of the biggest things I've learned in the last few years is to question Everything. Everything I thought I knew I need to look at again. It's not that everything I have learned is wrong, it's that some of what I have learned is very wrong. I feel the need to relearn and reunderstand everything, because if there is anything we have learned these last few years is that governments lie, universities lie, so called experts lie, and so many things we once thought were decided and true, simply aren't.
I love learning, now, more than I ever did in school, so thanks for sharing some interesting knowledge with me today. I will review, compare, and discern my way forward.

So we have that going for us. Which is nice.
