The sun’s current state could result in changing conditions

That's a teaser for a NASA press conference

The sun's current state could result in changing conditions in the solar system.

No confirmation yet if the Earth is included in the Solar System.

It's all his fault. That'll be $10.

There's just too much here to work with...

Headline:
NASA To Discuss Conditions On And Surrounding The Sun

NASA Spokesman "It's hot. Damn hot. Hotter than walking barefoot on an asphalt street in Phoenix."

Later in the press release:
"Ulysses was the first mission to survey the space environment above and below the poles of the sun. The reams of data Ulysses returned have changed forever the way scientists view our star and its effects."

When Ulyss,...oops, ulysses returned from its mission, we found an incredible number of small pictures, referred to as avatars. For a reason that we can't find yet, a disproportionate number of them seem to be of squirrels or cats.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

They are seven years too late for me to get a BAM question right.

And I thought "Making Mr. Right" was a fictional movie......

Yeah, it could be switching to Fall Position. Like always this time of year.
