Neat fun facts that you might not know but will bore people at parties:
The Solar Wind is spiral shaped.
The Solar equator is shaped roughly like a twirlling ballerina's tutu.
Sorry, i've got work on the brain.

What do you do for work? I`m just curious, thats all [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]I work for LASP. That's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.
http://lasp.colorado.edu if you want more info. I'm doing level three data analysis on the UARS (I think there's a section on UARS on the web site) stellar data. Or, in English, I'm doing grunt work number analysis programming. Put in a wodge of numbers and get back a graph. It's interesting work.
Lately though, I've been futzing around with some numbers from the Heliospheric Current Sheet. Here's a picture:

My boss says it has something to do with comet tails and their distortion when they hit the solar wind at different places. Here's a paper (one page) that mentions it and has a cool picture.

anyway... hope you don't regret asking.
