Not ist D but this site shows what can happen with long exposures to the
 sensor if, for example, the sun is in the picture.  Best to look at it
on a foggy day - which seem to be most of the time at the moment.

What happens to the sensor? It doesn't look like it gets any long term
damage, or am I missing something?

If you look in the sky portion of the picture, you can see pink streaks where the sun has tracked across the frame. When conditions are right, it is very obvious. The streaks run from top left to bottom right (very approximately) in parallel curves, demonstrating the sun's changing track through the sky as the year progresses. They are permanent artefacts on every future picture this sensor will take.
