The Sun is a star at the center of Earth's Solar System.[1]
In 75,000 BCE, a coronal mass ejection erupted from the Sun and struck the Earth, decimating a large portion of the human and Isu populations on the planet, and scorching the surface of the Earth.[2]
In 2012, a second, equally powerful coronal mass ejection erupted from the Sun, and once again hit the Earth. Fortunately for the planet's human population, measures taken by the previous eruption's survivors – namely Minerva, Juno, and Jupiter – to defend against such a re-occurrence, meant that the planet survived largely unscathed.[3]
Sun features prominently in multiple religions and myths, but especially in Ancient Egyptian mythology, where it was personified in the god Ra. Other gods, too, were often depicted adorned with the sun disc. Aten in turn was the sun disc itself, personified, and made prominent by the pharaoh Akhenaten.
