Ah but exactly; if I understand correctly, here they're talking about non-uniformity in the distribution of types of stars (in terms of composition) so hetero- is appropriate. Good to know it's used somewhere, thanks for the reference

I suppose if you had a universe full of different types of particles you could (but wouldn't) call it heterogeneous.

Besides convention (^as noted by Harry) there's also implication. Hetero- suggests a difference in nature not just degree, and in this case we mean the degree of "lumpiness" in a single type of thing.

That's a very helpful post!

Ewww, someone throw a rock at it.

They do! Probably something about surface area because they're small.

Gosh I miss those...

Oh nice, the gif, haha

^I don't doubt that quantum things arranged like a computer are still quantum things, I'd just be surprised if that's the best architecture for simulating other quantum systems. Not impossible, just would be surprising.
