The Sun may be showing signs of belatedly entering a mid-life crisis of sorts. A sporty new car may improve the Sun’s mood, as its spin and sunspot production may be slowing now that it’s nearing the 5-billion year mark. Well, still a few hundred million years to go before ol’ Sol reaches that sobering birthday, but he can see it coming. Don’t worry Sol, the Walkabout gang and the rest of humanity is here for you. Josh, Addie, and Jim discuss the Sun’s mid-life crisis and the color of quarks among other things in this episode of Walkabout the Galaxy.
