The Sun is apparently entering a period of increased solar activity. In the last few days, several large flares have been observed. When the energized particles reach Earth, they’ll interact with the magnetic field to produce more spectacular than normal aurorae. So if you live fairly far north (or south) of the equator, and happen to be out after dark in the next few days, keep an eye out.
This happens when out sun starts looking for other suns to have sex with. It’s like mating season, for suns.
You might be on to something.
Ew, sun cooties.
They burn.
