Diary

As often happens, yesterday’s major event left the Sun depleted. There hasn’t been a single flare in the last 10 hours, so the predicted quiet weekend may well have arrived.

The plasma moved away from Earth, so no chunk of the Sun is going to crash into us—and, in fact, no planets were harmed during the filming. Except for Mercury, visible on the right—though even it didn't really suffer any damage. It’s just much farther away than it looks.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
