Thank you muchly.
Apart from knowing the TMBG song by memory ("the sun is a mass of
incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace ... about ninety-three
million miles away, and that's why it looks so small!") I also recall
being amused as a child that if the sun were to explode, we'd only find
out about it eight minutes later.
Not that I passed Physics 121, though. :-/
