From spaceflightnow <br /><br />"LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico - Like a sea anchor slacking the pace of a wind-driven ship, helium may be the drag that slows the solar wind in its million-mile-per-hour rush across the cosmos. And because the ordinary solar wind just can't pull hard enough, the helium may build up in the solar atmosphere, until massive amounts of it are explosively expelled during eruptive solar events (called coronal mass ejections). These ejections produce the biggest near-Earth disturbances caused by solar wind. Those are the principal findings of researchers analyzing a decade's worth of data collected by the Solar Wind Experiment, onboard the NASA spacecraft Wind." <br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.
