BREAKING NEWS!
This just in to our
bureau desk: Annie got it right last night: the sun did indeed come up this
morning over South Knoxville as seen from Chapman Ridge. The near perfect sphere of hot plasma rose at
7:30 A.M. for all to witness who happened to be outside practicing proper social
distancing.
Since we have had overcast days for about a month many of those that saw it were astonished.

Roughly 93 million
miles away, the Sun is a G-type main-sequence star or
yellow dwarf. It's surface temperature is roughly 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. At its core it is something like 27 million degrees Fahrenheit but let's not go there. And as any fourth grader can tell you it is the center of our Solar System but not our universe.
“The Sun currently
fuses 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium every second, converting 4
million tons of matter into energy every second as a result,” says Mr. Wiki. Energy to warm our days.
“You can bet your
bottom dollar there will be sun,” said Miss Annie.
