Re: The Sun has no South Pole
Per a NASA web site I referenced,
Ulysses passed by the Sun's South Pole again in 2000, thense to the
North Pole in 2001. Please note that the findings SUPPORT THE ZETA
STATEMENTS 100%!!!! (God, I love being right!) Woooeeeee!

The Ulysses spacecraft, on a mission to explore
the Sun at extreme latitudes, today begins its
investigation of the Sun's south polar region.
This will be the second time Ulysses has passed
under the Sun, but this time the glowing orb will
look and act very differently because the Sun has
reached solar maximum, a time of heightened
activity. ... Ulysses was able to assess the Sun
during the relatively quiet solar minimum between
1994 and 1996. Now it will fill in the gaps with
observations during the solar maximum, thus
completing observations during a full sunspot
cycle of 11 years. ... Ulysses has found that
although the Sun's magnetic field is strongest
near the poles, as the solar wind pushes it
outward, the magnetic field eventually has the
same strength over the equator as over the poles.
The spacecraft will measure the magnetic field
around the Sun and the ions emanating from it.
... During the previous solar polar passes,
scientists had expected to find that the cosmic
rays would be funneled toward the poles by the
Sun's magnetic field. But this wasn't what they
found, at least not during solar minimum. Will
this be the case during solar maximum? The
Ulysses team hopes to find out.

Space physicists predict gusty winds for the next
few months at the Sun's north pole, an area that
will be observed when the Ulysses spacecraft
passes over it starting on Aug. 31 [2001]. This
pass over the pole occurs at a time of solar
maximum ... This will be Ulysses' second pass
over the Sun's north pole. It completed a circuit
of the Sun in 1996 ... In 1995, Ulysses saw
strong and simple magnetic fields at both poles
of the Sun. ...
=====> AS ULYSSES PASSED BY THE SOUTH POLE
OF THE SUN A FEW MONTHS AGO, SCIENTISTS EXPECTED
TO FIND THAT MAGNETIC LINES WERE POINTING
OUTWARD, BECAUSE OBSERVATIONS FROM EARTH
SHOW THAT THE MAGNETIC FIELD HAS ALREADY
REVERSED AT THE SUN'S SURFACE. INSTEAD, THEY FOUND
THAT THE MAGNETIC LINES WERE STILL POINTING INWARD,
JUST AS THEY HAD BEEN THROUGHOUT SOLAR MINIMUM. <========
They theorize that this could be caused by
[new theory to replace debunked theory, again]
