Okay so I forgot how big the sun is and had that absentminded mental picture moment of “oh it would make a big bang as something 3/4s the size of the sun would hit it”…
This picture was a very helpful reminder of just how out to lunch that thought was. Don’t trust your absent thoughts, folks 😅
The more I learn about the sun, the more I realize those ancient civilizations who worshipped it got it right. Look at that thing it’s fucking huge, scary, and it’s like right there.

and like a millionth the size of betelgeuse
Yes, but it looks bigger because it’s much closer
I can say that about my finger tip too. Larger than everything. Also dangerous, really hurts when poking my eye a little too hard.

No, they were just superstitious, they did not know how huge the sun was.
But we know now so ALL HAIL THE SUN GOD!!!
