Hmm... yes, I like that. I don't know why this makes me think of a
(probably?) nearly forgotten book: The House on the Borderland by William
Hope Hodgson. See for instance: http://eserver.org/fiction/borderland/
It does not relate to your scene really, but it describes some strange
atmospheres in relation with a strange sun. It is rather a scarry book in
fact.
