This Week’s Independent Thinker

When you’re hot, you’re hot.

More than 1,000,000 Earths could fit inside the sun. It’s 93 million miles away and more than 4 billion years old, but only halfway through its life.

The sun’s temperature is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, yet it heals us.

The sun is feared and worshipped. It might not have the sort of life we’re accustomed to, but it enhances our lives. It cheers us up, warms our homes, lowers blood pressure, helps prevent cavities and diabetes, relieves aches and pains, boosts fertility and increases sales of beer by the case.

The sun shines on everybody, and as George Harrison wrote, “Sun, sun, sun, here it comes and I say it’s all right.”

And it covers us in light every day.

What a star!
