The sun be crazy. Like, it’s more or less a self-sustaining explosion that’s so far away the energy of it takes almost ten minutes to cross the void to us, but is still so powerful it can burn and blind you if you’re exposed to it for too long. And the effects are only that minor because our magnetosphere blocks most of the solar wind. That wind is coming at us at almost a million miles per hour

To be fair, it’s only a few scattered atoms. The astronauts on the moon didn’t have to fight through a hurricane.
It would be kind of interesting (and probably terrifying) if it acted more like our wind tho
Its actually daytime in space all the time. The only reason it looks dark is due to nothing reflecting the light.
It’s* actually daytime
no one cares
This feels like cosmic horror for some reason.
It’s a true statement of the vast and uncaring void that surrounds us.
Starlight is always shining down everywhere in the universe.
So night is just really weak day
At night I can see shit.
Weak ass starlight.
Yet society forces you to live under the huge burning ball of cancer generating plasma that defies the natural natural order of the universe. -signed a night owl

The opposite of this realization is the plot of Nightfall by Isaac Asimov, now it makes me interested in a story about some kind of people realising that there is sunlight out there. I’m sure someone has made a story about this.
This radio adaptation of Nightfall may interest you. X minus one https://youtu.be/B-2CABQUfFQ
Eternally grateful for people uploading and storing things like this, as well as to you for sharing it with me!
Freezing is also the natural state. Heat is pumped in via the same giant fireball.
Not flame. The Sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.
