Hiya,

M-class stars are dimmer than G-class stars -- there's a mnemonic for
stellar spectra that goes: "O, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me" which relates
to the letter-coded spectrum notation, in descending order of
brightness: O
B A F G K M.

Been awhile since I did any astronomy, but I thought desirable stars
were
close to G0; likewise, I thought the 'M-class' designation was a Trek
thing
for a planet, not a star.

Learned men to follow and properly thrash me for my insolence.
