Kite Festivals identified as Topological Analog "Colorful Boojums"
It is a mere matter of time and space that Giant Colorful Boojums spontaneously emerge at planetary surfaces. (click image for large view)
Boojum Topologies are quite common, like these lightning Sprites and Jellyfish:
Real World Boojums are more complex and messier than their basic mathematical models. Here we see fine two cases of Boojum arches.
Solar Flares are incandescent archlike ion-plasma conductors with magnetic field lines twisted around them. Similarly, Kite Arches conduct tension by twisted fibers and an associated vortical wake field. These arches raise up by both analogous and particular causes, with lessons both ways.
