I remember my wife telling me just a few days ago that something approaching 50% of American citizens believe that the Sun is a star! Apparently, it is news to the rest! I thought I had misheard her, so she repeated the statistic again. It was from a recent national poll, I believe. Maybe I dreamed it, I hope so!

I wonder what the other 50% believe the sun to be...?

I'd prefer not to think about such things. It's profoundly disturbing.

They think it is the sun, and they are not wrong. What scared me most was that the other 50% was actually over 50%. Many of these are voters!
