  Revelation 8:12 The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun
The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way.
The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day wouldn't shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine -- the third of it, and the night in like manner.

Suppose the sun's magnetic north pole and its geographic north pole were at the same place at the start of a given cycle.

  The Planetary Society's Learning Center: Our Sun
At the center of the Sun, the pressure and temperature are so great, hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium.
The Sun is incredibly massive (over 333,000 times more massive than Earth), which means that there is enough hydrogen in the Sun to fuel the nuclear fires for another 5 billion years.
The Sun is the closest star to Earth, on average 144 million kilometers (93 million miles).

 The Sun - Zoom Astronomy
The Earth is closest to the Sun (this is called perihelion) around January 2 each year (91.4 million miles = 147.1 million km); it is farthest away from the Sun (this is called aphelion) around July 2 each year (94.8 million miles = 152.6 million km).
The composition of the Sun is studied using spectroscopy in which the visible light (the spectrum) of the Sun is studied.
The outer regions of the Sun (the corona) are studied during solar eclipses.

 SPACE.com -- Sun's Pulse Found, and It's Surprisingly Quick
If the sun can be thought to have a heart, then the currents of hot gas inside represent blood, pulsating around and upward through various layers toward the surface.
Using sound waves to peer a third of the way into this energetic orb, researchers have found the pulse: Vast pools of hot, electrified gas rub shoulders as they move at different speeds, alternating between slow and fast paces in a surprisingly quick cycle thought to drive sunspot activity.
The outer third of the sun moves energy toward the surface by convection, a method of heat transfer that relies on the fact that heat rises.

 Third Stone From the Sun - Jimi Hendrix Wiki
"Third Stone From the Sun" is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, from their 1967 debut album Are You Experienced.
The title refers to the actual third "stone" from the Sun, Planet Earth, which shows Hendrix's interests in science-fiction and space, and also fits in with the theme of the spoken lyrics.
"Third Stone" has been identified as one of the earliest fusion songs, mixing elements of classic rock and jazz.

 Inverse Square Law
Typically one of the objects is Earth, the second is a spacecraft and the third is the Sun.
This is because the light is being radiated from the Sun in a sphere.
As the distance from the Sun increases the surface area of the sphere grows by the square of the distance.

 Structure of the Sun: Inner Core | Scholastic.com
Throughout the Sun's interior, atoms collide frequently and with enough energy to ionize the gas, which is then referred to as a plasma.
In the inner third of the Sun the collisions among ions are energetic enough to cause nuclear reactions at a rate sufficient to liberate the energy required to give the Sun's observed luminosity.
Present evidence suggests that the plasma of the central nuclear burning region of the Sun is not mixed with the material in the outer shells.

 Scientific FrontLine / Ulysses embarks on third set of polar passes
As Ulysses approaches the polar regions for the third time, the Sun has settled down once again and will be close to its minimum.
Even though the Sun will be close to its activity minimum just as it was in 1994-95, there is one fundamental difference: the Sun's magnetic field has reversed its polarity.
The Sun's magnetic field was found to be slightly stronger in the south than in the north.

Processing the data reveals the structure of the complicated magnetic fields on the visible surface of the Sun - contributing to research aimed at understanding the forces that drive the Sun - and their ultimate effects on Earth.
Data are historical from 1749; the number of sunspots visible on the sun clearly waxes and wanes with an approximate 11-year cycle.
SOHO is designed to study the internal structure of the Sun, its extensive outer atmosphere and the origin of the solar wind, the stream of highly ionized gas that blows continuously outward through the Solar System.

 The Copernican Model: A Sun-Centered Solar System
This is not true, because Copernicus was able to rid himself of the long-held notion that the Earth was the center of the Solar system, but he did not question the assumption of uniform circular motion.
We may also note that the Copernican model implicitly questions the third tenet that the objects in the sky were made of special unchanging stuff.
The third objection is valid, but failed to account for what we now know to be the enormous distances to the stars.

Simpsons was paying tribute to the Twilight Zone episode staring Bill Shatner, much like the writers of Third Rock were doing in the episodes with the Big Giant Head.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Third Mall From The Sun   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This release marks both a return to the cutup textures featured on their previous release, Buy Me...I'll Change Your Life, and an evolution of the dancier electronic elements from earlier releases.
While Buy Me...I'll Change Your Life could be considered an experiment in terms of their sound, Third Mall From the Sun fuses this style with their earlier solid foundation of danceable rhythms and an ironically relaxed feel.
While more upbeat and diverse in styles than last year's album 'Buy Me, I'll Change your Life', 'Third Mall from the Sun' demonstrates precisely what the band is capable of in terms of programming and vocal delivery.
