In 1953 the sci-fi, horror and fantasy writer Clark Ashton Smith wrote a short story called 'Phoenix' in which an interstellar spaceship is launched to 're-ignite' an almost dead sun with a payload of atomic bombs made of every element. The crew and the ship perish in the attempt but succeed by crashing the payload into the sun, triggering a series of detonations. The story ends with the lover of one of the crew basking in the sunshine of the reborn Sun and imaging her lover returning to her "...in the sunlight".
