The physical characteristics and cycles of sunspots are examined in this report. The possible relation of solar to terrestrial weather cycles is noted. The work of Piddington and Minnet in the verification of Sagittarius A. since 1951, and the nature of their research is documented. The use of infrared in the investigation is explained. The role of white dwarf theory in astronomy and the speculative nature of much of the investigative work surrounding it is explained The thermodynamic properties of such high density matter is examined.
Sunspots are a major source of electromagnetic energy.
This energy is a key factor in explaining the development of prominences on the Sun's surface, as well as the effect of the Sun's energy as a whole on terrestrial phenomena. Includes extensive physical description of magnetic fields, along with a general explanation of sunspot development. Newton's gravitational theory and its effect on global tides, their range and nattern is explained. Steady state and big bang cosmological theories are compared, based on the Hubble theory of an expanding universe. The contribution of radio astronomy to the debate is detailed.
