Re: The Sun
"Although it may sound like a catastrophic occurrence, there’s no need to run for cover. The sun switches its polarity, flipping its magnetic north and south, once every eleven years through an internal mechanism about which little is understood.The swap could however cause intergalactic weather fronts such as geomagnetic storms, which can interfere with satellites and cause radio blackouts.
The sun will appear to get bigger and move towards the Earth, not to worry, those of a nervous disposition will have no need for Donovan's famous intergalactic laxitive"

As we just about managed to preserve mankind last time, it's an outside bet we will just about manage to scrape through this one.
