Yesterday afternoon I had a quick peep at old Sol, it looked as if a big chunk had been taken out of its limb.
For a moment it surprised me, then I quickly realised what was going on.
A passing aeroplane contrail was slowly drifting across the Sun, blocking out a portion of the limb as it slowly drifted by.
I'm glad to report that Douglas Adams' Enormous Mutant Star Goat had not started to devour our Sun, which had been my initial thought!
