Invisible sun-spots

Abstract

The vortex hypothesis, proposed in 1908, assumes that a sun-spot resembles a vast tornado in which electrified particles, due to ionization in the solar atmosphere, are rapidly whirled. The invariable presence of a magnetic field, caused by the revolving charges, confirms this view,(1) which is also supported by various other results of observation with the spectrograph and spectroheliograph.
