The Sun has returned. Yes, dear readers, through our combined prayers and diligence, we have brought back the orb of plasma that gives light and life to all on this ball of dirt.

“Well, I guess I can get back to sinning,” was the response of Chet Jeffrey, Village resident and Aptive salesman. “I almost deleted Mutual, I was so scared.”

Others, including Bradley Worthington, the nice boy you grew up with who your mother keeps talking about, were disappointed. “Man, I was excited for the End Times. I was gonna use my quad to beat up zombies.”

Agreeing with Bradley was John Smith, who had dressed for the occasion in a skull mask with red body paint and a loin cloth. “The Sun came back right as I was about to begin the virgin sacrifices. Utah’s such a good place for those too. Fetch!”

BYU physicist Karine Chesnal sighed deeply when approached for comment. “Of course the Sun came back, you nitwits, it was just an eclipse.”

The Alternate Universe is welcoming alternate explanations for the event, as Dr. Chesnal’s explanation of it simply being normal celestial behavior seems improbable.
