HELLO SUNSHINE

[defrog]

ITEM: On more than 200 days so far this year, no sunspots have been seen on the Sun, making it blanker this year than in any year since 1954.

What does that mean? I have no idea, and neither do scientists, who have any number of theories as to why it’s so quiet on the Sun. Whatever – it’s a great excuse to post a bunch of Mega Awesome™ photos of the Sun.

I think the severe lack of sunspot activity is because I complained at, to and about the sun, one too many times ... I state this in my most morose, eeyore-ish voice.

The answer is the obvious - It's The End of the World As We Know It! Cash your stocks, quit your job and go hide in a cave.
