If public interest in Earth's climate becomes focused on the Sun, the public will quickly find that NASA's watchdog has been sleeping for decades - while NASA ignored MEASUREMENTS that did not fit NASA's model of a hydrogen-filled Sun. For example, MEASURED abundances of 72 different types of atoms made by slow neutron capture (s-process) in the solar photosphere (Mass = 25-207 atomic mass units) and 22 different types of noble gas atoms in the solar wind (M = 3-136 atomic mass units) show beyond any reasonable doubt that the interior of the Sun is composed of the same elements that comprise rocky planets and ordinary meteorites - Iron (Fe), Oxygen (O), Silicon (Si), Nickel (Ni), and Sulfur (S). http://www.omatumr.com/abstracts2005/LunarAbstract.pdf Sincerely, Oliver K.
