Comet Encke: A Solar Windsock Observed by NASA's STEREO

[NASA]

Much like the flapping of a windsock displays the quick changes in wind's speed and direction, called turbulence, comet tails can be used as probes of the solar wind - the constant flowing stream of material that leaves the sun in all directions. According to new studies of a comet tail observed by STEREO, the vacuum of interplanetary space is filled with turbulence and swirling vortices similar to gusts of wind on Earth. Such turbulence can help explain two of the wind's most curious features: its variable nature and unexpectedly high temperatures.

Swirling tail of the dragon in the sky, is how the ancestors would have called it.

Or more like the PTW would have us believe our ancestors would have called it. Our ancestors well! I think they new better, it's just our false history mind control that would call it dragons Doh!
