Astronomy news update from NASA : 
Sometimes, the surface of our Sun seems to dance. In the middle of 2012, for example, NASA's Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamic Observatory spacecraft imaged an impressive prominence that seemed to perform a running dive roll like an acrobatic dancer. The dramatic explosion was captured in ultraviolet light in the featured time-lapse video covering about three hours. A looping magnetic field directed the flow of hot plasma on the Sun. The scale of the dancing prominence is huge -- the entire Earth would easily fit under the flowing arch of hot gas. A quiescent prominence typically lasts about a month, and may erupt in a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) expelling hot gas into the Solar System. The energy mechanism that creates a solar prominence is still a topic of research. Unlike 2012, this year the Sun's surface is significantly more serene, featuring fewer spinning prominences, as it is near the minimum in its 11-year magnetic cycle.

A band or cap (usually metal) placed around a shaft to reinforce it or to prevent splitting. (specifically, climbing) The metal spike at the end of the shaft of an ice axe. A band holding parts of an object together. A bushing for securing a pipe joint. A metal sleeve placed inside a gutter at the top. (billiards) The plastic band attaching the tip to the cue. (painting) The pinched metal band which holds the bristles of a paintbrush to the shaft.
