XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

[Panel showing the sun partially obscured by clouds with faded gray blue sky around the sun, mainly upper right, as there are clouds in the lower left part. The image is very bright and blown out at the bottom left, obscuring most of the surface detail of the sun. A small black dot is visible in the upper-right part of the sun's image.]

[Caption below panel, with a yellow unhappy smiley before the hash tag:]
