Abstract: Abstract Spicules are dynamic jets propelled upwards (at speeds of ∼20 km s-1) from the solar ‘surface’ (photosphere) into the magnetized low atmosphere of the Sun1,2,3. They carry a mass flux of 100 times that of the solar wind into the low solar corona4. With diameters close to observational limits (
