It is all a misunderstanding.  Our sun has been modeled correctly.  It is the time that is wrong.  It has been modeled 5 billion years in the future with its hydrogen supply running really low  :rofl

It would be a red giant, so is still modeled wrong.  ;)

If you look at it long enough, it looks red.  So does everything else though  :lol

IMO i think we need a .sunglasses command. I know they had them in WW2 because the sunglasses where invented by the japanese in 1430 by smoking the glass, worn by judges to conceal there expressions. (just a little history fact)

With World War II brewing in 1936, Ray Ban designed anti-glare aviator style sunglasses, using polarized lens technology newly created by Edwin H. Land, founder of the Polaroid Corporation.
They also designed a slightly drooping frame perimeter to maximally shield an aviator’s eyes, which repeatedly glanced downward toward a plane's instrument panel. Fliers were issued the glasses at no charge, and the public in 1937 was able to purchase the model that banned the sun's rays as Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses.

Yea, can't fly with polarized glasses anymore because of the glass cockpits. I have many-a-pairs of $200+ glasses just wasting away now because you can't read the "computer" screen without turning your head precisely at the right angle. Good for fishing though!

no matter where your going, mission or not, the Sun is always there to blind yer way  :old:  there should be a dot command for raybans, like   .shades     sure it will help with the sun, but not sure if it would reduce how far you could see in all the other directions while there on

I looked at the sun once.  It was bright. I spend most of my days at work inside. It really hurts to go out when the sun is out. Same is true if I drink a 1 too many beers on my day off.
