Without it there is nothing on earth. It is the giver of life and light to all things big and small on earth. It has been the most worshipped object in history. Cavemen in prehistoric times, the Incas, Mayans, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, every race, sex, religion and age, have all basked in its glory. Since the dawn of time man has revered it, lived for it and by it, sang it, depicted it, loved it, feared it. It feeds every plant and warms every creature. It has gone by many names; too many to list entirely. Apollo, Helios, Inti, Ra; the list goes on. It is no secret what “it” is. The Sun, that behemoth titan of scorching fire and gas that is the center of our galaxy and existence.
Sitting a mere 92,960,000 miles away from Earth rests the Sun. Only a mere 8 minute and 19 second trip; were you in possession of a vessel that could obtain light speed. The sun could ingest 1,300,000 earths were it able to eat.
