"to our knowledge, the sun has not exploded.”

[Queersetti]

Well, the sun has apparently not exploded. Whether or not the sky is falling remains to be seen.

The Athens Banner-Herald on Monday was forced to post a retraction to its website saying, “the sun has not exploded” after mistakenly announcing “the sun just exploded.”

God has the sun on an 8 minute delay in case it does something bawdy.

I felt a little crispy today.

 

[Skiddles2015]

Now I have to repurchase all that sunblock I returned.

 

[bronzeage]

We'll have to wait until morning to be sure.

If the sun did explode, all those 'Annie' revivals wouldl be doomed to darkness

that is an up side...

 

[DesEsseintes]

Also on the plus side, England might, briefly, warm up. That's worth a little solarcalypse any day.

We would all briefly warm up, similar to those in Hiroshima at ground zero when the Enola Gay flew by.

If our sun went supernova it would make the Hiroshima A-bomb look like a firecracker. You wouldn't feel anything.

It's too small to be a supernova. Dummy.

"We have also learned that were the sun to explode, it's likely we would no longer be able to collect subscriptions, therefore there is no need to inform you."

 

[mdbigdee]

And it won't explode either,dummy.

 

[DesEsseintes]

It won't explode, no, so by extension it won't go supernova. It will swell and cool.

I was reading about quasars yesterday. Those things would make our sun giving us the finger look like a playdate. One in particular can swallow material at the rate of ten Earths per second, making it the second most gullible object in the universe after Smoove.

 

[Recidiva]

Note: The sun technically is exploding all the time, it just doesn't lose its integrity.

The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.

Nerds.

Annie's going to lose her bottom dollar.

 

[Queersetti]

Nerds.

Lit experts are explaining cosmology, while the newspaper says that the sun is not exploding, to their knowledge.

 

[ElasticMermaid]

Annie's going to lose her bottom dollar.

Only degenerate ne're-do-wells bet on the weather.

 

[Queersetti]

Only degenerate ne're-do-wells bet on the weather.

Like Annie. That bitch spent her whole life living off of her sugar daddy.

 

[ElasticMermaid]

Like Annie. That bitch spent her whole life living off of her sugar daddy.

Having her as my first role model suddenly explains a lot of my life problems.

Let me put it this way:in a theoretical scenario where our star has a mass large enough to go supernova or nova,we would die as soon as the effects of the cataclysm struck this planet. Whether from the energy,the particles moving at near the speed of light,the neutrino and gamma ray radiation,the burning of the oxygen in the atmosphere or the shifting of the planets orbit. All life on earth would end immediately end with no comprehending of what happened.

 

[Not Normal]

Might as well be walking on the sun

"The reason I am not an astronomer…
Question: "What does the red spectrum tell us about quasars?"
Answer: What is a spectrum? What is a red one? Why is it red? Why is it so frequently linked with quasars? And what the hell is a quasar?"

Thanks for explaining, Mr. Big Degrasse Tyson.
