In fiction, something happening at a particular point on a heavenly body can imply aliens, so maybe we should consider that, too.
Oh man, mentioning people trying to fix the sun is making me flash back to Sundiver, although I barely remember the plot of that by now since it's been too many years since I read it.

Anyway the bottom line is
that we have a really weird giant ball of hydrogen floating nearby that's the reason for life on Earth? Awesome, was not expecting to learn some actual science as a by product of a Science;Adventure game. xD
