We Might As Well Be Walking On The Sun
Yesterday, we celebrate the start of the new [calendar] year. Today, we can celebrate being as close to the Sun[*] as we are going to get all year!
That's right, dear friends! In case you missed it, perihelion happened this morning, at 05:00 UTC. Despite the cold you may feel outside, we are actually about three million miles closer to the Sun than we will be in July. From here on out, we will spend the rest of 2013 further from the Sun than we are now. Doesn't that just make you feel all warm inside?
So... Happy Perihelion, gentle readers! Enjoy! (And don't forget your sunscreen!)
[*] Sol, the Daystar, Blito, or whatever else you might wish to call it.
