Absurdly shiny roundthing

And let's not forget how ridiculous our very own sun is, either. That thing is so bright that, even though it is like a million billion miles from Earth, it can still light up an entire hemisphere. And it's not just, "oh, it's not pitch black outside anymore"-bright. It's more like, "wow, thanks to that freaky nuclear fireball up there, I can see across the entire bay, and maybe farther if I were taller." That's like brighter than those 20-LED flashlights they sell at Fry's.
