I could never understand how the sun continues to produce energy after all these millions/billions of years without burning out.......
You can land on the dark side.
It’s Oryx! I kicked his ass on the dreadnaught...
Fake, I’m not even sure the sun is real ...
Bozo the Clown lives on the sun!
Maybe; the monolith aliens in 2001 managed it, and that was a red giant, no less, which would have a much more active corona. Humans in the Uplift series (Sundiver) manage it with a refrigeration laser and phlebotinum-based hull material.
I think the one thing that’s going to someday give us anti-gravity, FTL travel, and other “science fiction” technology like the ability to fly close to or even into stars, is our ability to imagine that such a thing is possible. Our eventual solution to those goals may end up looking nothing like the ones we imagine, but we’ll get there nonetheless.
Looks like a red fuzzy ball. Is there a movie of the surface moving around?
Beautiful picture.
What really puzzles ME about the sun is that it’s magnetic, and gas isn’t magnetic, metal is. Yet we’re told that the sun is compressed hydrogen. Could it be that it’s really made of molten metal and something like uranium???
What am I missing?
