Chapter: Comics
When I was a kid I understood the sun to be a unique object. Later I learned that it was in fact a star. It somehow became more amazing. A star so close that I could walk outside and feel its presence on my face.

Yeah, I remember the time when I thought that there was only one sun, but many stars, as if they were completely different things… It also felt kinda weird when I learned that the sun is actually a quite small star, because it looks way bigger than the other stars in the sky, and we can feel the heat from the sun, but not from the other stars.
Also, the name of today’s comic is actually the same as the Swedish word for “sun”! I find that quite funny!
Sol is actually the Latin word for sun (from which the English word “solar” is derived). Sol is also commonly used by astronomers to refer to our sun.
Ah, nice and warm.
I agree, the fact that it is a star that is actually up close makes it all the more awesome, cuz we know something of what the other stars look like
HA
funny guy
I liked the one better where he was warming his bath water up with a space heater >:D
While he was in it.
