This phenomenon forces the tails of comets to always point away from the Sun, while its periodic flares can cause geomagnetic storms that knock out power grids.
The NASA IBEX is now mapping this phenomenon, and scientists believe that the craft observed a reflection of this. Some scientists believe that Earth could not have had an atmosphere until its iron core condensed because of this phenomenon. An unknown mechanism in the polar oval causes this phenomenon to accelerate as it passes through Earth's magnetosphere, and it also forms a solar system-sized bubble in the interstellar medium called the heliosphere. This phenomenon forces the tails of comets to always point away from the Sun, while its periodic flares can cause geomagnetic storms that knock out power grids. Also responsible for the Northern and Southern Lights, name this continuous stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun's corona.
