   All blondes know that the sun is much cooler at night!

   A mind is a terrible thing to have emptied by multiple alien abductions.

   It will happen at night for half the world. That half will be lucky because they’ll be sleeping and not doing anything for the storms to mess up.

   Actually, there is a nighttime on the space station (or perhaps you’d rather refer to it as eclipse).

   But it only about 45 minutes long; so let’s hope the eruption is a quick one.

   When astronauts visit the sun, it will have to be at night of course.

   Scratching an irresistible geek impulse: Geosynchronous communications satellites are in eclipse for only a few minutes each year, around the equinoxes. So even if it’s dark on your side of the world, you would likely lose your satellite feeds.

   We now return you to enjoying the comic.

    I’ve been telling Al for years. the sun is the cause of Global Warming. Being a Democrat, he won’t listen to my nuclear option.

    “A solar eruption from the sun”? As opposed to one from the moon, perhaps?

    Solar not Lunar. But to just say “eruption” would beg the question since we have volcanic eruptions on earth. Short shrift SherlockWatson for you. Mycroft gets you again.

    Lewreader, Al probably reads from scientists and listens, since being a Democrat shouldn’t matter and doesn’t count. No evidence our present warming trend has anything to do with the sun. Its the lower atmosphere that is warming, the upper atmosphere is cooler. So not the sun. Science, not politics is where your head should be.

    NIGHT-GAUNT Sorry I misunderstood the Global Warming theory. I thought they believed that carbon, changed to a sold form (perhaps by sun shine causing photosynthesis) was released into the atmosphere by man’s burning and animal emissions, preventing the solar radiation from bouncing back from the earth. Notice I said sun twice. Ever been in the hot desert and forget your coat when the sun goes down? Deny solar warming. Need more, put a quarter in the sun in July. Pick it up in a couple of hours. I know these proofs are childish but I’m talking to an Al believer. (Pay your $8 to see that “documentary”?)

    Ray–Not so, the astronauts will visit during an eclipse!
