The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 1.5 and 10 keV. The stream of particles varies in temperature and speed over time. These particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high kinetic energy and the high temperature of the corona.
The solar wind creates the heliosphere, a vast bubble in the interstellar medium that surrounds the Solar System. Other phenomena include geomagnetic storms that can knock out power grids on Earth, the aurorae (northern and southern lights), and the plasma tails of comets that always point away from the Sun.
The continuous stream of particles flowing outward from the Sun was first suggested by British astronomer Richard C. Carrington. In 1859, Carrington and Richard Hodgson independently made the first observation of what would later be called a solar flare. This is a sudden outburst of energy from the Sun's atmosphere. On the following day, a geomagnetic storm was observed, and Carrington suspected that there might be a connection. George Fitzgerald later suggested that matter was being regularly accelerated away from the Sun and was reaching the Earth after several days.
Tom Barabas is an American-Hungarian pianist/keyboardist. He studied classical music at the Caracas Conservatory in Venezuela before developing a taste for rock, jazz, and New Age.
Barabas spent his childhood in Hungary, and emigrated to the US in the 1960s, living and composing in San Diego, California. In the classic style of great, onstage performers, Tom Barabas delivers a musically eloquent experience that builds rapport with his audience and invites them to fall in love with his graceful streams of sound.
Artist Profile - Tom Barabas spent his early years immersed in the diverse musical traditions of European culture and those of North and South America but he did not expect to become the sought-after pianist and composer that he is today.
National reviewer, P.J. Birosik’s response to Tom’s music echoes the sentiments of his fans across the country – ”Barabas composes richly harmonic and well-articulated pieces that satisfy the soul and stir the imagination.” He performs with an intimacy, spontaneity and living warmth that sets him apart from other instrumentalists. His technique combines classical, Latin and jazz traditions in an unmistakably personal and joyful style.
Life is an illusion
Wich never comes to an end
There’s no death in this domain
Only a neverending breath
I remember me on the shore
Under the blu sky of childhood
Listening at the salty wind
Whispering promises of eternity
Blow me through this space
Far away from this decay
This metal shell's out of control
Lost in your embrace unto the unknown
Life is but a dream
Of a mind which is being dreamed
Divinity becoming matter
Godly love turning to gravity
In a universe so calm
This endless wave of consciousness
Radiates in a moltitude of circles
Touching the outer limits of existence
This solar wind forever blows
Over a deep persistent sea
I’ll walk again on that shore
As i did millions of times
My footprints left forever and ever
