C’mon, ESA Solar Orbiter team, just give the Parker probe a LITTLE nudge at aphelion. Crash it into the sun. Fulfill the dream of Icarus. It is your destiny.

    From Explain XKCD:

    This comic was released on Christmas Day of 2024, but makes no reference to Christmas. This year marks the first time in xkcd’s 20 year history (of releasing comics around Christmas), that there have been no Christmas comics released during those days. Also all nine times before this year, when a release day fell on Christmas Day, that comic has always been about Christmas.

    …But when you really think about it, isn’t this comic about the true meaning of Christmas? That is to say, it is about avoiding the Sun. It’s still topical, I’d say!

      Glad that we as a society are finally getting around to doing non Christmas things on Christmas.
