Takes 8.5 mins for the sun's light to get here.
Takes 18+ hrs for charged particles to get here.
I get that there was a solar flare a few days ago
The last tso nights the sky has been a blue color
Lighter than the silhouettes of coniferous trees to the north
Charged particles will do that.
But why is the sun so bright?
For the past two days I have had to wear
Two pairs of sunglassesto handle the reflections from other cars
This means the sun has been shining a heck of a lot brighter for two days!!!
