sunspot.noun,.plural.sunspots
any of the relatively cool dark spots appearing
periodically in groups on the surface of the Sun that are associated with
strong (over 2500 times greater than the Earth's) magnetic fields
"Sunspots tend to occur in
pairs, with the two spots having magnetic fields that point in opposite
directions, one into and one out of the sun. Sunspot pairs in the Sun's
northern hemisphere leads its partner in the direction of rotation and
has a magnetic field direction opposite to that of a leading sunspot in
the southern hemisphere.
"As a new 11 year cycle.(no
one knows as yet, why the Sun runs on these cycles; apart from the
hologram, we have no other answer).begins.(and
one began the summer of 2011, so next is 2022, then 2033, etc.),
the magnetic field direction of leading sunspots in each hemisphere reverses.
Thus, the full solar cycle, including the magnetic field polarity, takes
approximately 22 years. In addition, the sunspots on the sun at any given
time tend to occur at the same latitude in each hemisphere.
"Because each sunspot exists
for, at most, only a few months, the 22-year solar cycle reflects deep
seated and long lasting processes in the Sun and not just the properties
of individual sunspots. Although not fully understood, the phenomena
of the solar cycle appear to result from the interactions of the Sun's
magnetic field with the convection zone in the outer layers of the Sun.
These interactions, furthermore, are affected by the rotation of the Sun,
which is not the same at all latitudes. The Sun rotates once every 27 days
near the equator but once every 31 days nearer the poles."....Microsoft®
Encarta® Encyclopedia 99.
Sun spot activity apparently effectively shut down
during what's called the Maunder
minimum period.

Summary Judgment
a decision made on the basis of statements and
evidence presented for the record without a trial; it is used when there
is no dispute as to the facts of the case and one party is entitled to
judgement as a matter of law; a material
fact is one which might affect the outcome of a case under governing
law; to preclude summary judgment, the dispute about a material fact must
also be 'genuine' such that a reasonable jury could find in favor of the
non-moving party; conclusory or speculative testimony is insufficient to
raise a genuine issue of fact to defeat summary judgment; in general, inadmissible
hearsay evidence may not be considered on a motion for summary judgment;
summary judgment is properly granted when the evidence in support of the
moving party establishes that there is no issue of material fact to be
tried; a court is required to consider all the evidence set forth in the
papers, except where objections are properly sustained and all inferences
reasonably deducible from such evidence; any doubts as to the propriety
of granting the motion must be resolved in favor of the party opposing
the motion; if the court determines there is no triable issue of fact,
the court will determine any remaining issues of law
