Abstract
IN the issue of NATURE for July 4, p. 30, Mr. Evershed has reviewed a paper by Edison Pettit on the “Forms and Motions of the Solar Prominences.” Dealing with the motion of eruptive prominences, Evershed thus summarises the opinion of Pettit: “The memoir concludes with a theoretical discussion of the nature of the repulsive force acting on prominences. Radiation pressure is rejected as inadequate, and the periodic ejection of showers of electrons from a disturbed area in the photosphere is suggested tentatively.”
