The Solar Cycle
... A prominence is a loop or sheet of glowing gas ejected from an active region on the solar surface, which then moves through the inner parts of the corona under the influence of the Sun's magnetic field. Magnetic instabilities in the strong fields found in and near sunspot groups may cause the promin ...

... We see the galaxies flying apart from each other, the farthest moving faster. Since we see the more distant galaxies as they were long ago, this seems to imply an explosive creation at a time when all the galaxies were crowded close together long ago. We can calculate how the Big Bang and later star ...
