~~it's a 1.5 billion-year-old star~~

~~sharks are 300 million years old at best, if you date them to their ancestors in the Permian period~~

Polaris Aa is only 60 ish million years old, polaris Ab is under 500 million. Polaris B is the 1.5 billion years old one. Polaris A is the vastly brighter of the three and is typically what people mean when they refer to the three stars.

Also re: the age of sharks, 300 million is a low estimate. It's like 300 to 420 million, depending on how you define a shark.

holy shit its an austin powers reference lmao. My sister, my cousin, and I used to quote that movie ALL THE TIME. There are still some I use regularly, like "Allow myself to introduce.... myself" when meeting strangers usually at a bar or party or something.
