A few nights ago, I was watching Castaway on my new tv when I was overcome by the soothing sounds of Tom Hanks screaming for help. I fell asleep on the couch, and despite waking up several times throughout the night, I decided to just go ahead and stay on the couch until morning.
All of my windows were closed. There were blinds, there were curtains…both closed.
However, down a 60 foot hallway and through another room, there is a tiny 4 or 5 inch section of glass window atop my front door. It just so happened that this window aligned directly with my face, somehow…even though it was not directly in my line of sight.
One beam of light made it’s way through that window, down the hall, across the floor, and sat right on my face…and was bright enough to wake me up.
This light source was 93,000,000 miles away. That’s six zeroes. 93 Million miles away and still bright as fuck.
This inspired me to think….damn, the sun really is bright. It’s 93 million miles away and you still cannot look directly at it for any length of time without some kind of eye damage. That’s fucking hardcore. Name something else that would be that far away and still cause eye damage to look at (besides Rosie O’Donnell). Go ahead…try!
Summary: The sun is bright as fuck.
