Today's astronomy picture showed
The Sun coughed out an energy burst that took
2 days to travel 93 million miles.
That is 46.5 million mi/day or 1.9 million mi per hour.
Like some flying cinder.
What a narrow life we lead oblivious to eruptions of the sun except that our cell phones and
other communication may get fouled up.
The sun so far away and yet we
feel the warmth. Did you feel the cinder?
Did some particles go straight through you?
Why do we not call the Sun a name?
The sun tops the list of many such things, like air and water, that are essential and influential yet we scarcely think about except when inconvenienced. Thanks for the reminder.
