Not the site, the weird glowy thing in the New Eden system. It's brighter than usual (at least, as I remember it) and pulsing with some red wave things. I got a screenshot. Is this CCP playing some sort of prank? I haven't seen it mentioned by anyone else.

Its called the sun. It may seem strange and otherworldly to you, but heres a mindblower...we have one in real life! Honest! if you step outside you can actually see what that in game bright thing is based off of! Mind=Blown.
The sun is relatively new. It was implemented in Earth v.1.01 due to complaints about low visibility. In Earth v1.02 they implemented eyelids which act like sliders to increase or decrease the amount of light you can see from the sun. The next planned patch v1.03 they will be implementing color variation controlled by the sunglass slider which will be accessable by drop down menu activated by pulling on your left earlobe while barking like a seal.
It is really amazing once you read the patch notes. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

The UK is excluded from this development, the closest we get to "SUN" is a third rate tabloid with topless chicks on page 3. We were never destined to look upon the splendour of an out of control hydrogen reactor burning in the sky.

I can imagine the Devs conversation over this now.
Dev 1: Hey guys, I have this great idea for April Fools. You know that thing in New Eden, you know, the one NO ONE looks at? Lets make it glow strangely, and see if anyone notices.
Dev 2: That's dumb. No one will notice that. No one goes to New Eden anyway.
Dev 1: I know this one guy Petrus who does, and some of his friends. They will notice if it pulses with red waves.
Dev 2: BRILLIANT! Then they'll post about it on EVE-O and our prank will spread through the whole community!
Dev 3: No one reads the forums, guys. . |

It should be visible as at least a very, very bright star in every system in EVE. |

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.
