New Theory on Solar Magnetic Field Origin

TapTechNews May 23rd news, one of the consensuses in astronomy in the past few decades is that the solar magnetic field is located more than 130,000 miles below the surface of the sun. However, the latest research results published in the Nature journal on May 22nd challenge this theory, believing that the solar magnetic field originates 20,000 miles below the surface of the sun.

This project is led by Northwestern University in the US and an international research team. After conducting a series of complex calculations on the supercomputer of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the team discovered this result. It is worth noting that these are only preliminary findings, and more research is needed to confirm these data.

The fluctuation cycle of the solar magnetic field is 11 years. At the peak of the cycle, a strong solar wind and sunspots will form at the equator of the sun and affect the aurora borealis phenomenon on the earth.

The previous theory of placing the magnetic field deeper inside the sun is difficult to explain the connection between these solar phenomena. Scientists expect that this new theory can not only explain the generation mechanism of solar activities but also improve the accuracy of predicting solar events.
