The sun be crazy. Like, it’s more or less a self-sustaining explosion that’s so far away the energy of it takes almost ten minutes to cross the void to us, but is still so powerful it can burn and blind you if you’re exposed to it for too long. And the effects are only that minor because our magnetosphere blocks most of the solar wind. That wind is coming at us at almost a million miles per hour

To be fair, it’s only a few scattered atoms. The astronauts on the moon didn’t have to fight through a hurricane.
It would be kind of interesting (and probably terrifying) if it acted more like our wind tho
Yet society forces you to live under the huge burning ball of cancer generating plasma that defies the natural natural order of the universe. -signed a night owl
That’s called life.
Its actually daytime in space all the time. The only reason it looks dark is due to nothing reflecting the light.
It’s* actually daytime
no one cares
why are you citing yourself
near enough to a star, yes, but most space isn’t that close to a star
yeah? Where is the light coming from?
If you have to ask,you arent ready to know
*aren’t
Praise the sun \[T]/
If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Starlight is always shining down everywhere in the universe.
So night is just really weak day
At night I can see shit.
Weak ass starlight.
We know the speed of light; but what is the speed of shadow?
a shadow is just a silhouette cast on a surface, so it can move much faster than light. An object moving near the speed of light in front of a small light source that casts a shadow on a very large, very distant object could appear to move billions of times faster than light (though you would need an extremely bright light source for the shadow to be noticeable to the naked eye)
there’s really no upper limit, just how far you’re willing to stretch the definition of “shadow” and “movement”
I’ve been pondering about responding to you. Since I can’t see this as some sort of irony - here goes.
I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. The shadow in your example would be bound by the speed of light, because the photons from the source of light are also bound by it.
A shadow is just a lack of photons on a surface surrounded by other photons.
He’s pretty fast, iirc. At least he was in that one sonic game.

No shadows go slower because they aren’t as light
Freezing is also the natural state. Heat is pumped in via the same giant fireball.
You damn kids and your technical correctness. :shakes fist a unrelated cloud:

Not flame. The Sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.
Miasma
noun
1 noxious exhalations from putrescent organic matter; poisonous effluvia or germs polluting the atmosphere.
2 a dangerous, foreboding, or deathlike influence or atmosphere.
Good bot
This feels like cosmic horror for some reason.
It’s a true statement of the vast and uncaring void that surrounds us.
don’t worry tho, the caring people from your surrounding will stand between you and the void :)
Is this an oil painting of Wendigoon?
Love his videos
Who is it from?

The opposite of this realization is the plot of Nightfall by Isaac Asimov, now it makes me interested in a story about some kind of people realising that there is sunlight out there. I’m sure someone has made a story about this.
This radio adaptation of Nightfall may interest you. X minus one https://youtu.be/B-2CABQUfFQ
