... Abstract Find nearest point on a triaxial ellipsoid to a specified line, and the distance from the ellipsoid to the line. ... If linept is inside the ellipsoid, pnear will not necessarily be the closest point of intersection. dist is the distance of the line from the ellipsoid. ... If the line intersects the ellipsoid, dist is zero. ... Examples 1) We can find the distance between an instrument optic axis ray and the surface of a body modelled as a tri-axial ellipsoid using this routine. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...
