Yep. Something really big and really hot couldn't possibly be of any consequence.

Astrophysicists reveal the sun is beaming down gamma rays with energies higher than ever measured.
The gamma rays lose energy in Earth’s atmosphere, meaning they don’t present a concern to life. This also allows them to be discovered by researchers working with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory, or HAWC, located in Mexico.
“This shows that HAWC is adding to our knowledge of our galaxy at the highest energies, and it’s opening up questions about our very own sun,” said Mehr Un Nisa, a postdoctoral researcher with MSU and the corresponding author of the new report.
Sometimes, the best place to hide a secret is in broad daylight. Just ask the sun.
“The sun is more surprising than we knew,” said Mehr Un Nisa, a postdoctoral research associate at Michigan State University. “We thought we had this star figured out, but that’s not the case.”

It’s a good thing that this source of high-energy light can’t affect our weather.
How dare you!
That's the problem with so many scientists. They know a little bit and think they are the end all and be all of knowledge
They know nothing in reality.
Socrates and Rabbi Nachman of Breslov both say that the beginning of wisdom is to know that you are not wise.
Lemme guess. The global warming cult will say my gas stove has altered the sun's function?
Cow farts on the Sun?
Yep. Something really big and really hot couldn't possibly be of any consequence.
A good gamma ray burst could sterilize the planet.
I’d be ok minus the green skin.
Fascinating!
Obviously the bright light from the sun is caused by climate change. If only we give up our freedom and embrace global socialism we might be saved.
probably getting big grants to come up with such profound thoughts
You mean bacteria or reproduction wise?
One of those would be a really good thing.
Don't me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I'm angry!
The sun? What is it?
I was once on a plane next to a guy who was bragging about what a road warrior he was and how much time he spent on planes. He was also bragging about how he packed his own "healthy" lunch because he's didn't know what might be in the food served to him at the airport or on the flight.
He was not receptive to the point I made that he was sitting there at 30,000 ft soaking up ionizing radiation, i.e. gamma rays, and that was a lot more dangerous to his health compared to the traces of whatever in his food.
Yes.
There is a theory that a gamma ray burst from a supernova caused the Ordovician-Silurian extinction on earth.
A large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, but that’s not important now.
It’s what made Superman SUPER
