	The Sun
		The Sun is an average star its size, age, and temperature fall in about the middle of the ranges of these properties for all stars.
		Within the heliosphere, the Sun provides most of the heat and light that are present, and the particles in the solar wind interact with the planets and satellites in the solar system.
		The Sun, which is moving around the center at a velocity of 220 km/s (140 mi/s), takes 250 million years to complete one trip around the center of the galaxy.

	The Sun
		The Sun's energy output (3.86e33 ergs/second or 386 billion billion megawatts) is produced by nuclear fusion reactions.
		Recent data from the spacecraft Ulysses show that during the minimum of the solar cycle the solar wind emanating from the polar regions flows at nearly double the rate, 750 kilometers per second, that it does at lower latitudes.
		Further study of the solar wind will be done by the recently launched Wind, ACE and SOHO spacecraft from the dynamically stable vantage point directly between the Earth and the Sun about 1.6 million km from Earth.

	The Solar Wind
		The first indication that the sun might be emitting a "wind" came from comet tails, observed to point away from the Sun, whether the comet was approaching the Sun or whether it was moving away.
		The regions where the solar wind starts are immersed in the Sun's magnetic field (though perhaps in regions where that field is relatively weak).
		It is the IMF that allows the solar wind to "pick up" the ions in a comet's ion tail, as it also did to an "artificial comet" produced in a 1985 experiment (see positive ions, "clouds of barium ions").

		It was assembled by analysing average wind flow as the Sun rotated around over the course of 14 days, in April 2002.
		One curious pattern observed, Haber explained, is a breeze in the Sun's northern hemisphere that reversed direction in 1998.
		She added that the flow may be tied to a reversal in magnetic fields that the Sun experiences every 11 years, she said.

		X-ray, and gamma rays from the Sun are thankfully blocked by the atmosphere but may pose a hazard to space travelers unprotected by Earth's layer of air.
		The existence of the solar wind was first inferred from the directions of comet tails, which point away from the Sun instead of trailing behind the comet along its orbital path.
		The solar wind is now understood to be a plasma, a mixture of protons and electrons that moves away from the Sun at supersonic speeds.

	ESA Science & Technology: Ulysses sees the Sun begin to quieten down
		Order is returning to the solar wind as the Sun begins to shake off the chaos that has characterised its behaviour during the recent peak in its 11-year activity cycle.
		The re-emergence of the high speed wind from the Sun's north polar regions, which the spacecraft is presently crossing, is a sign that the activity is subsiding and the Sun is beginning to settle down once more to a quiet time.
		In the SOHO image on the left, the dark area around the north pole, from which the high speed solar wind is emerging, is not yet matched by a similar region around the south pole.

	Our Star - The Sun
		The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furmace.
		The Sun is an active star that displays sunspots, solar flares, erupting prominences, and coronal mass ejections.
		The Sun loses approximately 4 million tons every second, this is the amount of hydrogen gas that the Sun turns into energy.

		The gas of the 'slow' wind leaks from triangular features called 'helmets', which are plainly seen protruding into the Sun's atmosphere during a solar eclipse.
		Its measurements show that the fast wind predominates in the heliosphere, which is a huge bubble blown into interstellar space by the Sun's outpourings, and extending far beyond the outermost planets.
		The solar wind is the perpetual stream of subatomic particles given out by the Sun and it can damage communications satellites and power stations on the Earth.

		For much of the 20th century, astronomers have suspected that the outer atmosphere of the Sun, called its corona, is not the end of the line.
		The solar wind is like a conveyor belt that transmits the outcomes of events on the solar surface into interplanetary space.
		When this wind encounters a distant planet, it causes changes in the electrical properties of the space around the planet that can have significant impacts on planetary atmospheres and especially on their own magnetic fields, if they have one.

		But Sun Ra's mark of distinction was that he became the first jazz pianist to display any genuine affection for electronic keyboard instruments.
		Sun Ra's taste for combo organ sounds, such as that of the portable Farfisa, endeared him to generations of forward-thinking rockers like Pink Floyd and NRBQ.
		For example, his improvisations on "The Wind Speaks," "Journey To The Stars" and "World of The Myth I" run the gamut of his pallet of expression from vacuum cleaners in heat to Saturnian dial tones.

	Primer on the Solar Space Environment
		The basic energy source for the Sun is nuclear fusion, which uses the high temperatures and densities within the core to fuse hydrogen, producing energy and creating helium as a byproduct.
		The core is so dense and the size of the Sun so great that energy released at the center of the Sun takes about 50,000,000 years to make its way to the surface, undergoing countless absorptions and re-emissions in the process.
		During a geomagnetic storm, portions of the solar wind's energy is transferred to the magnetosphere, causing Earth's magnetic field to change rapidly in direction and intensity and energize the particle populations within it.
