The sun has many millions of modern worshippers. Every person sunbathing. Every farmer and gardener. Everyone with PV (photovoltaic) on their roof who loves checking the stats. You don’t need to personify something to pay it respect and gratitude. A moderate solar flare may remind some of its power, but so far in my lifetime the sun has been a merciful god, and I give many thanks.

For those sunscreen UV-phobes: your blame of the sun is misplaced. It is the atmosphere of this planet who’s punishing us with sun burns for our disrespectful emissions.

Photovoltaics, solar panels.
