I find it absolutely phenomenal that a photon starting at the center of the Sun takes between 10,000 and 170,000 years to get to the surface. And then it takes only 8.3 minutes to reach Earth in the form of sunlight.

It's beautiful! And it means that the sunlight shining on you today likely began its work to reach you during the last ice age.
