MR. MAUNDER, CALL YOUR OFFICE: The Sun is eerily quiet right now. “NASA has released images showing a strangely spotless Sun this month, with hardly a mark on its surface. It’s the lowest level of solar activity we’ve seen since 2011, even though the Sun is only halfway through its 11-year cycle, and five years off its solar minimum. But for some reason, it seems to have gone quiet a lot earlier than usual.”

Fallen Angels is just a science fiction novel, right guys? Right? Guys?
