However, following observational research in the 1980s, it was found that spicule plasma did not reach coronal temperatures, and so the theory largely fell out of vogue.

- Small pointed structure serving as a skeletal element in various marine and freshwater invertebrates e.g. sponges and corals
- Spicules are tiny spike-like structures of diverse origin and function found in many organisms, such as the copulatory spicules of certain nematodes or the grains on the skin of some frogs.
- Spicules are tiny glass flakes which are formed during the manufacture of glass vials. A glass tube is extruded at a constant rate and a jet of water applied to the hot glass is used to cut the blank tube to length. ...
- In solar physics, a spicule is a dynamic jet of about 500 km diameter in the chromosphere of the Sun. It moves upwards at about 20 km/s from the photosphere. They were discovered in 1877 by Father Angelo Secchi of the Vatican Observatory in Rome.
- A sharp, needle-like piece; Any of many needle-like crystalline structures that provide skeletal support in marine invertebrates like sponges; A jet of matter ejected from the photosphere of the sun; A small spike of flowers
- (spicules) A small needlelike structure or part, such as one of the silicate or calcium carbonate processes supporting the soft tissue of certain invertebrates, especially sponges.
- (spicules) The grass-like patterns of gas seen in the solar atmosphere.
- (SPICULES) Spikes of gas that rise through the chromosphere (right). Spicules are rising jets of gas that move upward at ~30 km/sec and last only ~10 minutes.
- (Spicules) Paired rod-like structures in the bursa of male worms. They are used, along with the bursa, to clasp the female during copulation. Each type of worm has characteristic spicules that can be used as an aid in identification.
