Seems to be happening frequently these days. I’ve never seen the northern lights before this year. I’ve seen them five times now.

A study from the University of Albacete, in Spain, says that a massive planting of quality pipe tobacco, and a moderate consumption, can prevent radioactive tides from the sun towards our planet. That, and a glass of fresh milk in the morning, body baths in truck gearbox hydraulic oil. And sing figaro, three times a day, with an aspirin tablet under the tongue.

I knew that Sol was pretty huge in human terms, but a few months ago I was reading an article which included a "throwaway statement" that light from the Sun's poles (and I guess all around the edge of the solar disc) takes 10 minutes to reach the earth, as opposed to 8 minutes for light from the center.

And remember, the Andromeda Galaxy is one light-second closer to its inevitable collision with the Milky Way Galaxy with every hour that passes.

"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." — Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
