Swirling Solar Wind at Silbury Hill
The two-armed
spiral formation at Silbury Hill (2), Nr Avebury, Wiltshire, reported
8th August, is of the Archimedean or Arithmetic type of spiral, as
opposed to the Logarithmic spiral.
This particular
type of spiral is found in nature as the Parker Spiral describing the
solar wind energies emanating from the Sun’s flare activity.
A good
illustration of how the spiraling action sends out solar wind particles
to earth can be found here:

The two smaller
circles at the ends of the spiral arms in this Silbury Hill formation
could be the few solar wind particles that leak through the protective
magnetic field of the Earth and then get caught in the field and become
belts of radiation.

Are the circle
creators letting us know that these times of increased solar flare and
solar wind activity are stressful for Earth? And are the circle
formations assisting devices for Earth’s coping mechanisms during
strong bombardments of solar wind particles?
