Dig into the monetary value of the Sun and how important it is as our energy source as Daedalus contemplates buying it.

--

Daedalus hasn’t been the same since losing Icarus. Suddenly, he begins expressing interest in buying the Sun from Helios. Rumors say Daedalus is aspiring to destroy it to avenge Icarus — or channel its immense power towards other imprudent aims. He summons a divine accountant and asks: how much would it cost to buy the Sun? Cella Wright conducts a financial analysis of our star’s worth.

Lesson by Cella Wright, directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio.
