Are we paying any attention to the first Sun?

Gayatri Mantra for Sun:

"Om Asva dhvajaya vidmahe, pasa hastaya dhimahi, tanno Suryah prachodayat"

( अस्व ध्वजय विद्महे
पसा हस्तय धीमहि
तन्नो सूर्य प्रचोदयात)


They say: The Earth could soon have a second sun.

Unlike in CE 1054, India surely will notice and record the event.

But in general have we really learnt to pay attention?



Artist: Bill Watterson, Creator of Calvin and Hobbes who often makes my day because The Asian Age publishes his syndicated cartoon strip.

In case captions in the picture above are not readable:

Calvin: That cloud of stars is our galaxy, the milky way. Our solar system is on the edge of it.

Calvin: We hurl through an incomprehensible darkness. In cosmic terms, we are subatomic particles in a grain of sand on an infinite beach.

Calvin:

Calvin: I wonder what's on TV now.
