Seriously. The sun sustains all life. And it may very well be to thank for the original creation of life. Basic amino acids form spontaneously in dirty water that’s exposed to sunlight. When the first single celled organism spawned it was surrounded by food. No one ever really asks what the first lifeform ate, even though that’s a very good question since most life depends on other life for food. This is the answer to that question.

The Sun is also absolutely terrifying. From a million miles away its rays give warmth but it is a gargantuan explosion that’s only held together by how huge it is. The sun is so massive and seething that sometimes it takes photons produced by solar fusion hundreds of thousands of years to wiggle their way out to the surface. The sun is too terrible to stand before. Truly awe inspiring in its majesty and absolutely beyond our ability to even fucking touch.

You know. All those things that god is supposed to be.
