This is an introduction to the most logical approach in understanding how the sun reverses its magnetic poles while simultaneously maintaining its continuity. Based upon a novel patent-pending magnetic confinement method that was designed to emulate how confined plasma at the sun’s core rotates about a single relative center point (SRCP); this theory of sun polarity reversal was developed to provide supplementary validity that this novel magnetic confinement method for fusion has similar properties to how the sun operates. By logically applying Michael Faraday’s law of induction in analyzing the generated oscillating currents within the confines of this sun-like confinement device; one is able to simply explain how magnetic pole reversals observed by NASA’s magnetic field detectors occur without the sun’s core physically flipping or reversing in direction.

Observations of astronomical objects include vectors that are transverse, perpendicular to the direction from the objects to us. The Hub Test judges how well transverse vectors on the sky align by calculating their mutual alignment angle to each point on the sky. Then the most focused and least focused values constitute two measures of the collective alignment of these transverse vectors. This article deals with statistics. How likely is it that a given alignment angle would occur with randomly directed transverse vectors? We discuss and apply a Library of probability distributions from randomly directed sources that is created elsewhere. The Library here has 294 sets of probability distributions with the number of sources ranging from 9 to 900, 14 values total, and the nominal sample radii ranging from 0.14\[Degree] to 64\[Degree], 21 values total. We apply the Library to the problem of estimating the significance of the values obtained by the two Hub Test correlation measures. For a given experimental sample, the Library can be used either by an interpolation of the data or by substitution in formulas that fit the Library data. An Appendix presents detailed calculations in a self-contained Mathematica notebook.

A digital model of the collision of DART with Dimorphos, the ‘moon’ of the asteroid Didymos, learns that the published long-term prediction of the orbit of this ‘moon’ is incorrect.

In Stellar Metamorphosis gas giants evolve into gas dwarfs. In this paper it is shown why and how this happens, supporting evidence is provided and some predictions. I also provide more detail on the intermediate stage of grey dwarfs.
