Adrenal adenomas remain the most common type of benign adrenal tumors, representing over 50 percent of adrenal masses.

The Sun provides the energy for the aurora, but particles in the. aurora come from Earthâs own neighborhood in space. The Sunâs. energy is carried toward the Earth in the solar wind, a stream of. electrically charged particles (mostly protons and electrons) ïow-. ing out from the Sun in all directions.
The amazing color displays and formations of the Northern Lights (also called aurora borealis) are produced by basically three things: 1. The solar wind - a continuous flow of the Sun's magnetic field carrying charged particles (electrons and protons) from the Sun's atmosphere far out into the solar system. 2.
