Comet tails point away from this object due to its emission of high energy plasma, which forms the shape of Earth's magnetosphere and is responsible for auroras.
The tachocline layer of this body experiences high shear that may be responsible for forming strong magnetic fields, and data from this entity is collected by the SOHO spacecraft. This object contains features that cycle according to Sporer's law, and those features were notably rare during the (*) Maunder Minimum. This body contains a boundary known as the termination shock and produces mass ejections from its corona. Comet tails point away from this object due to its emission of high energy plasma, which forms the shape of Earth's magnetosphere and is responsible for auroras. For ten points, identify this star in the center of our solar system.
