Some help please:

1. The ecliptic plane vs. the invariable plane. At the site
http://muller.lbl.gov/papers/nature.html, Muller includes Figure 3
showing the values for Earth's location over 100,000 years on the two
planes. Current location: Ecliptic is 0 deg inclination, 240 deg
omega; Invariable plane is 1.67 deg inclination, 286 deg omega. Please
explain (or refer to a website) clearly explaining these variables.
How do the degrees translate to a specific location in space?

2. Solar flares and CMEs. These do not seem ever to emanate exactly
along the solar equator. What is the closest that they come to the
equator in degrees from the Sun's equatorial plane?

3. Zodiacal light. What is the angle of this plane in relation to the
invariable and ecliptic planes?

If possible, it would help to have some reference diagrams to illustrate the above.

SPACE.COM has a very good program called STARRY NIGHT, consisting of
soft cover book, three C.D`s with updates. Covers all that. All for
$U.S.40. In OZ it cost me a bit more.

Thank you, pugwashjw-ga; I'll try that.
