How do we know the sky is blue?  We can see it.  We have models that explain it in irrefutable terms.  We are able to actually recreate it in a lab.  

But no one's actually grabbed a handful of blue from the sky and studied it.

Nice try PB. The Sky is in our atmosphere and our atmosphere can be "physically" studied. The Sun cannot.

Let me be clear. I have no problems with science asking questions and drawing conclusions based upon their limited understanding and then presenting their sparse findings as "theories" but I do have a problem with supposed scientists stating that something is a "FACT" based upon data gleaned from a faulty method in the first place. I call such conclusions of "fact" as "Junk-Science" and I believe rightly so.

Claiming anything about the Sun outside of the fact that it is hot and a burning ball of fire (You know? Your most basic observations?) as a "FACT" without actual physical evidence taken directly from the Sun without all the unknowns between us and it or the unknowns it by itself may possess is "Junk-Science."

The original post in this thread is fascinating but the assertions of fact ruin what it is saying.
