Electric Helix

[...]
This sheath acts as the virtual cathode in the Sun’s discharge circuit and is coupled with the hourglass current in a manner yet to be determined.

a battlefield between mercenaries and exiles.

Funny... question and answer

Philosophy is not dead. Only philosophy is able to answer the question about where the barycenter is. To understand that the individual barycenter may be lightyears away turns little egos into huge entities. The mercs and exiles are just beings on a different position of a huge wheel respectively circuit. Behind the words and their definitions is the understanding that the universe is cooperative and that the center of the disc has the least centrifugal force !

In this high resolution image, how would you explain the large, bright stars that appear over the concentric rings of the birkeland currents and their strands? Are these stars associated with the pinch?

Also, I could not find a star that all the strands point to. A few point to one star over the triangle of stars, but most point off a bit.

Any other observations would be appreciated...thank you

The once-proud Queen of the Sciences now offers herself for sale to the highest bidder on her street corner. The field of astronomy is no longer a seminar of science but a battlefield between mercenaries and exiles.

Now I am confused. Am I an exile, mercenary, or proud Queen?

Are you referring to the foreground stars?

Neither. "Rebel": Modern day term for Critical Thinker

Oh, you might like this image of the so called "knots" (with their glowing ionization fronts)

thanks,,,,i see a central star with a glow around it...that must be the one.....and they may be foreground stars or maybe really bright stars shining though the plasma?

thanks,....i've never seen those at such a large size....strange formations , when seen like this....
