When I was in first grade in 1950 we were told the sun was yellow and we drew pictures with a house, tree and yellow sun. Very clearly I could see the sun was white it looked like a star only bigger. When I asked friends what color they thought the sun was they said yellow, when I asked them to look at it and tell me that is what they actually saw, they said they couldn't because they would be blinded. Now I could see that it wasn't yellow because I dared take glimpses, however I did buy into the you will go blind part and was quite irritated with my parents for not warning me about the danger. Ridiculous, because before I was "woke" I had spent many hours lying in the grass staring at the sun and clouds and I wasn't blind.
