The Sun seen in the Glyphs

The Sun is a star at the center of Earth's Solar System.

History

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.

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.

Influence

The 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. In classical mythology, Apollo drove the sun across the sky, a role earlier associated with the god Helios.

Among the Iroquois, the sun was said to be the eye of the mythical Sky Woman, with her other eye becoming the Moon.

The Place Vendôme square in Paris, France was built as a tribute to the Sun according to Nostradamus.

During the 18th century, the St. John's Wort was also known as 'Solterrestres', meaning the Terrestrial Sun, for like the Sun, it was believed to drive off 'spirits of darkness'. Another flower connected to the Sun was the lotus.
