It hasn't been around NJ for a week now. Lots of clouds. For all I know, daylight could be huge spotlights with a sign that says "Sorry, the Sun is closed for renovation".

I've always thought the government has been covering up the fact that the we accidentally killed the Sun during the first moon mission. I think what we see now is just a massive piece of aluminum foil that NASA put up there, reflecting the light from a *really* big Maglite on top of somebody's roof in the bronx.

I'm wondering the same thing here in Boston, in fact. I think I may run for cover if I see a bright yellow orb in the sky.

I'm fairly sure the sun is gone, the moon is probably gone too..

Whats the sun?

All I am familiar with is this wet substance that falls from the dark sky.

In my case it's rather "Do clouds still exist?"!
No clouds since 10 days here!

Apparently, the sun migrates south in the winter. Maybe you should go look there.
