The big gap in our knowledge is that we don’t have measurements of the magnetic field in the sun’s atmosphere, its corona,” says Gibson, who is a co-author of this new study.

Scientists believe the Sun’s magnetic field could reverse within our lifetime, a natural cycle that occurs roughly every 11 years. While this solar polarity shift is not dangerous, it can impact ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have ...

The sun’s powerful magnetic field has long puzzled scientists. A new study suggests the source of its magnetic field is nearer the surface than first thought.

Armed with a better understanding of where the Sun’s magnetic field comes from, physicists may soon stand a better chance of predicting how much activity each 11-year solar cycle holds in store.

Books; Fox News. U.S. Crime ... New research suggests the sun’s magnetic field originates 20,000 miles beneath the surface, much closer than the previously estimated 130,000 miles.

Magnetic Field Of The Sun’s Atmosphere Seen Like Never Before Thanks To 114 New Maps A new instrument means that the coronal magnetic field is finally being mapped almost every day.

The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity. Over the past couple of years, ...

If you could see the sun's magnetic field right now, it would be a large tangled web of magnetic field lines without a coherent shape. In half a cycle's time [5.5 years from now], ...

The sun’s powerful magnetic field has long puzzled scientists. A new study suggests the source of its magnetic field is nearer the surface than first thought.
