It isn't casting a shadow on the sun's surface; so it's obviously fake.

Who said that it is a shadow. It is the silhouette of the objects.

it's not fake. it's just that the sun is so bright you'd have to take a picture of it at night.

It seems like you would have to take it at night but there are some whizz bang lens equipment and a lot of digital diddies out now to filter out the sun.

My question is: If the sun goes out at night, who reignites it in the morning?

That guy in Greece who has the camera also has an old olympic torch.
