... The concept of continuous solar wind developed in 1950's. First, Biermann (1951, 1957) observed comet tails as they passed close to the Sun , and explained the observed tail deflection by a continuous flux of protons from the Sun. Then Parker (1959) showed that the solar corona must expand, and called the outward streaming coronal gas 'solar wind'. ... The expanding solar wind drags also the solar magnetic field outward, forming what is called the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) . ...

... In this talk we establish the following relation between the categories of representations of the two algebras: we show that the category of modules over the small quantum group is naturally equivalent to the category of modules over the big quantum group, which have a so called Hecke eigen-property with respect to representations lifted by means of the quantum Frobenius map from the category of representations of the Langlands dual Lie algebra. ...

... GUIDE'' (Graphical User Interface for a Data Environment) is an interactive IDL widget-based package that enables users to retrieve selected sets of satellite instrument data and perform various types of graphical analyses on them, without writing a specialized program. GUIDE simplifies the task of laying out multiple plots on a page by (1) using a page-editor to define and laying out multiple ``panels'' which contain the ``plot objects'', and (2) integrating data retrieval functions. ...

... The ancient chronical said about the colour rings around the Sun and the Moon, about three suns in the sky, light columns, bright lightning, different "comets" rushing to the Earth, moving among the stars or round the Earth with the sky.

... It turns out one possibility is a form of matter/energy invented by Einstein in the 1920s to make sure his equations of General Relativity did not predict the Expansion of the Universe. Although Einstein was willing to predict several things with his equations of General Relativity, he obviously thought an expanding Universe was too much, and so he invented the Cosmological Constant, which repels itself, and was meant to balance the force of gravity, and make the Universe static. ...
