为什么太阳从白天天空中的黄色的阳光转变为我们现在看到的银白色阳光。你过去一向能观看太阳两三秒并且看到一个黄色太阳。现在，无论如何，甚至再也难以朝太阳的方向观看，因为它增强的漫射亮度。甚至难以看到太阳所是的球状物在那整个光辉之中。现在这真的是伤害眼睛。
一个极端耀眼的太阳在2003年被注意到，X行星从猎户座的方向呼啸进入内太阳系，并且随着它接近太阳而点击了排斥作用力尖锐的暂停行进。X行星的尾部并不受排斥作用力的影响，保持它的动量并飘荡过太阳，传送红色尘埃和古怪的大气变化到地球。当地球在2003年夏季时，从这个剧本来说是在太阳的反面，它是在这个飘荡的尾部的路径上。随着X行星从它的北极冲开它的尾部，而这紧密的往太阳的南极粘合，尾部在那个时候是指向太阳。但由于地球在2003年冬季时她的轨道再度造访到X行星的旁边，如此便暂时离开了这尾部。
在2003年夏季，人们注意到更容易晒伤，建筑工人长期习惯于户外工作，注意到某种不寻常的晒黑趋势。那年作物也在许多地方早熟两个星期，而且关于太阳的强烈亮度之议论是常见的。2004年期间，这看起来好像消失了，但现在这些同样的征候和议论已经回复了。什么变了？2004年期间，X行星它的北极曾经往太阳的南极黏附，而因此尾部朝向太阳飘荡。但如同我们曾说明过的，一个二百七十度滚动(270° roll)是预定的，X行星将转动到向外指出它的北极的地方，随着它穿越黄道─太阳的腰部，以和黄道上方的磁性流动线(magnetic flow lines)调准。如此这般，尾部将再次开始指向地球，而许多那年曾经历过的现象将回复。
这将意谓什么呢？增加中的火流星和残骸进入地球的大气。无疑的，增加中的红色尘埃，以及一个血红月亮和在屋顶和车顶上的沉淀物这所有它的征兆。因为这尾部是磁化的、带电的，这将随着它存在于大气中再次影响地球的磁场。地球的核心在这时对来自太阳的较强大的支配反应而其次是来自于X行星的，但大气却受到飘荡中的尾部之支配，从而戏剧性事件可以发生。在2003年，有一段电浪涌(electrical surges)和电力中断(outages)的时期，影响遍及全球各国。这可能会重新发生，因这是带电的尾部所造成的。霓虹云─着上红色而且看起来像在发光，在那时可见到，而这些和其他大气的展示将被生成。
什么引起了晒伤─那没有被转化成为增加的热度而且无法与太阳活动或太阳黑子关联的强烈光辉？某个雾堤(Fog bank)，随着某道光在它上面显示出来，看起来像是均匀的光，因为这光是散乱的了并弹跳回观察者。有更多光在那里，或只不过是散乱的光？一道彩虹在好几阶的光谱中发散出光是因为它被云中的水弯曲向观察者，但通常白光因着所有的光在光谱中是可得的而占优势。如果太阳不再是黄色的，这是因为所有的光线散乱了，而黄色的稳定状态被干扰了。在某个彩虹现象的期间，没有额外的热生成，也并非当光的反射被散乱时热度的差异被注意到。
那对增加了的强度的(光的强度)感知是由于在光谱之中的混合，那些眼睛最能去适应的光谱已不再呈现。你从前不会苦恼于观看夕阳，那黄或橘色的太阳，虽然太阳仍然在视野之中而它的光线以全力进入到你的眼睛。是你们的黄色太阳的减损影响了你们的眼睛看太阳的能力，从而感知到增强的亮度，随着太阳的光线─散乱的，对你们的眼睛呈现出与正午所呈现的相同的混合。同样的包括那引起晒伤的光线，通常不会在日落时或说除了在正午之外弯向观察者，但现在却散乱的到达一个人的皮肤。白天的时间不再是一个免于晒伤的保护物。随着这尾部继续转向地球，这将只会更加重。

- Why are the suns rays burning and tanning worse these days? I was outside for just a few hours the last 2 days [June 25, 2003] and it wasn´t that hot and I got quite a tan, not really burned red like years past, but how can you get tanned so fast? I remember 20 years ago it took a good 6 weeks to get a tan. I was moving and not laying in the sun too. [and from another poster] Yes in Quebec Sun look more white and give tan so quick. Too bright and the summer just start. [and from another poster] This thing gets brighter every day at http://www.stephenville.com/weather.asp Much more than last week. Last week I could look at this and wait to make out the sun and see it. Now I cannot even see a Sun now with all of this brightness. Same as Santorini webcam.

- I have noticed the that the sun is huge. Does the sun grow in size? I have pics. Taken on different days same approx. time. Big differnce in size. The sky seems white washed [June 30, 2003]. I have worked outside in Florida for eighteen years, and Iam telling you something is up with the sun. [and from another poster] I´m in northern Virgina. No rainbow here, but the sky has that bright-white hard, hazy glare that makes your eyes water to look at. Can´t tell how many suns are there, but it´s bright - whatever it is.

- The red dust in Florida is coming in now more so then before. When I took the Moon shot tonight [July 2, 2003] I noticed the clouds are very reddish now after sunset. There is also a large dark cloud that has been hanging over the western horizon after sunset the past 3 days. There was a tremendous red halo surrounding the Moon tonight as well. [and later] The red dust is coming in thick here on the West Coast of Florida. Tonight [July 3, 2003] the dust is even thicker then last night and is beginning to settle on the cars here. Every Cloud in the sky is red just after sunset. The planet must be moving at great speed now. I wonder how long before the media and the common folk pick up on this? [and from another email] For the last few weeks, I've been watching the sunsets [July 3, 2003] here in north Missouri. I have never seen them redder in my entire life. [and from another email] This picture of Red Skies is taken from a webcam [July 4, 2003 Noon] in Fraena in the north west of Norway.

- I am a farmer in Illinois. Many of my friends have been commenting on how unusually bright the sun has been this summer [July 1, 2003]. I have noticed this as well. Despite a relatively cool growing season so far, our crops are well advanced for this time of year. This photo of last evening's Sunset is unusual because it is never this bright at sunset. [and from another email] The cherry crop matured about two weeks early here in Northern Utah [July 3, 2003] and then suddenly after a big rain last week they began to burst. Farmers have never seen anything like this. Something is definitely happening.

- While at breakfast this morning [July 14, 2003] with friends from work, two guys mentioned that the Sun seemed extremely bright lately and was making it very difficult to drive during the morning and evening commute. They have been making the same drive for years and can't remember a time when they had so much trouble seeing the road.
