I’m sure we’d have a long drawn out period of planetary cooling before it just clicked off. That might actually be fun, roving bands of canibals and snow boarding anytime you like.

How funny that today you talk about black holes and the sun going out, we had this discussion in chemistry. And how lucky I was that I had previous mental floss articles to pull from!

And maybe after our atmosphere turned to snow we could all go sledding off the tallest building; keep your spacesuits and sleds close at hand!
