For different {{w|Helliconia#Astronomy|astronomical reasons}}, it made me mostly think about the Helliconia series by Brian Aldiss. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.90.222|172.70.90.222]] 13:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Someone put the following in the Incomplete tag. I don't think it's right (a 7 year cycle... Could have been fudged to somehow happen three times in every two solar-cycles to more closely match..?) but it deserves to be seen in the context of every ''other'' potential inspirational source being mentioned:
 
:Title text is a clear allusion to Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day" which is about the sun coming out every 7th year on Venus, an event which only Margot can remember.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Summer_in_a_Day
 
...also, that editor should have tried using the site-standard {{Template|w}} method for the link, perhaps, if they're reading this. For your future info, ok? [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.207|172.71.178.207]] 01:17, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 
  
 
We now have a counterexample for "The sun is bright, and its light illuminates the Earth {{cn}}", which is from comic 285 [[Special:Contributions/172.68.58.130|172.68.58.130]] 19:22, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
