The clearest picture of the sun ever recorded!
The Sun is not made of fire, its energy comes from nuclear fusion to its heart, where the temperature exceeds 15 million degrees and the pressure is immense. It melts hydrogen atoms, turning them into helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat in the process.
Every second, it converts 600 million tonnes of hydrogen into 596 million tonnes of helium, the 4 million tonnes of missing matter is converted into energy - a process that will continue for the next 5 billion years.

Big floof
I want to pet the sun, or scratch behind the ears.
The sun is a good boi!
There was a post I saw not too long ago that asked you to give a boring super power that you'd like to have and I said I wanna be able to feel things without touching them
I wanna be able to do stuff like pet a crocodile from across a river with out losing fingers and I wanna know what the sun feels like other than hot. What's its texture?
I was literally just thinking about this again like 10 minutes ago and I thought it would probably be really dense like lava but NO THE SUN IS A GIANT FLOOF AND I MUST PET
