      i looked this up after i didn’t know it earlier and its about 4.57billion years old, apparently it can stay like this for upto around 10 billion years, so it’s not going anywhere!

      Since Judith has already told you about the star, I’ll assume you meant the newspaper, you did right?

      The Sun was first published in 1964 as a broadsheet, but was then published as a tabloid from 1969 on. The first topless page three girl appeared in 1970.

      I hope that answered your question, let me know if you want to know more. 😉

      Hahaha…Gemma’s answer is quite funny. I thought of taking a tangent myself but soon realised there are far too many things called ‘The Sun’. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_(disambiguation)
