My dad got a solar telescope for his backyard observatory, and every time I visit him and the weather's right, we take a good look at the sun. The fact that every distinct feature, every sunspot or flare, you can make out is SEVERAL DOZEN EARTHS WIDE never really stops being fucking insane.
Anything you can see on the sun is at least Everything In The Entire World wide.
There is a website where you can go watch the sun in realish time, so some stoner with really good weed probably saw this before most people did and probably said "holy shit."
