– Scientists have developed a new mathematical model to better understand the origin of the Sun’s magnetic field. The model finds that the field is generated closer to the Sun’s surface than previously thought.
– The model accounts for the Sun’s unique interior structure and took over a decade to develop using NASA supercomputers. Scientists believe it provides a more accurate understanding of the Sun’s complex magnetic field dynamics.
– Understanding the Sun’s magnetic field can help improve forecasting of space weather events like solar storms that influence technologies on Earth and create dazzling auroras.
