hot as fuck.

sunday morning. the sky is gray and the hills filled with fog. i can see the sun trying to break through, but the clouds are relentless. the say to the sun, "it is sunday, go back to bed and sleep a bit longer." but i am up with the sun. i sat in my bed this morning reading, as its light broke the sky. light which is quite hot.

some facts: Scientists conclude that the average temperature of the sun’s outer layer {the photosphere} is around 6,000 degrees Celsius. The next layer {called the convection zone} is approximately 60,000 miles thick and reaches temperatures of around 5 million degrees Celsius. The sun’s core, somehow for the love of god, reaches temperatures in excess of 15,000,000 degrees Celsius. Hot as fuck one might say.

thankful to live so far away.
