... The Sun of our solar system is a typical star of intermediate size and luminosity. ... The Sun has a very complex surface magnetic field created by convective flow of the electrically conducting solar material. ... The escaping hot coronal plasma is called the solar wind . ... See the table below for the observed features above the Sun's surface. ... Chromospheric features . Coronal features . ... dense clouds of material suspended above the surface of the Sun by magnetic field line loops . ...
Hubble Observations Shed New Light on Jupiter Collision . Was it a comet or an asteroid? ... Their initial findings, combined with results from other space-borne and ground-based telescopes, shed new light on Jupiter's atmospheric winds, its immense magnetic field, the mysterious dark debris from the impacts, and the composition of the doomed comet itself. ... Hubble's ultraviolet observations show the motion of very fine impact debris particles now suspended high in Jupiter's atmosphere. ...
... Physics . ... Electrodynamics and magnetic field of the Earth's magnetosphere. ... Until his retirement in 2001, Stern was associated with GSFC, studying theoretical aspects of Earth's magnetosphere, in particular its large-scale electrodynamics, global description of its magnetic fields and particle motion. ... The first one (non-mathematical) covers magnetospheric physics, is titled " The Exploration of the Earth's Magnetosphere " and its home page is at http://www.phy6.org/Education/Intro.html . ...
