    I think the whole point is that the surface of the sun is a surprisingly attainable temperature, still super high, but not unimaginable. It’s like reasonable hyperbole, rather than so crazy high you can’t even begin to understand it.

      I feel like it’s someone who tries to hyperbole something but it’s not actually that great. I certainly won’t imagine anything related to the sun “imaginable” if I don’t know better.
