SAFIRE 8 Applications to Natural Phenomena subtopic: water molecules trapped around the sun

One of the findings of the SAFIRE experiment is that there are nested double layer plasma configurations around the electrode, which proved to be reproducible and stable.

Each nested layer around the sun, in this model, would be bound by a double layer. Visually, the double layer can be identified in some of the SAFIRE publications with lighter and darker areas. The darker areas are "wells" where the efield goes to zero. It is in these "wells" that molecules can be trapped.

What might that look like in space?

  Some stars are said to be surrounded by haloes of hot water mixed with carbon dust.
  According to a recent European Space Agency (ESA) press release, the Herschel infrared space observatory discovered a cloud of hot water surrounding a giant star in constellation Leo known as IRC+10216. Space scientists were puzzled by the discovery of water near other carbon stars, but the Herschel team thinks they know what creates it: ultraviolet light.

  As the ESA bulletin states, “It is the only explanation for why a dying star is surrounded by a gigantic cloud of hot water vapour.” Supposedly, ultraviolet light from nearby stars penetrates the envelope between gaseous “clumps,” breaking apart carbon monoxide and silicon monoxide, allowing oxygen and hydrogen atoms to attach, forming water.
  
  IRC+10216 is a red giant star, surrounded by a massive cloud of dust that absorbs most visible light. The only way to “see through” the dust barrier is with infrared detectors. It is in that dust that the water vapour was found. The “clumpy structure” in the dust around the star is said to contribute to the formation of the water.
