FIGURE 11. 
An eruptive prominence of the sun in which there is a series of smaller 
knots projected with the main knot. Under the gravitative pull of a 
passing sun, such as postulated in the Planetesimal Hypothesis, there 
would be many such knots as these, but of even greater dimensions. 
Photographed at the Yerkes Observatory. From Chamberlin, University
