Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun s outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict space weather.
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 23, 2024 -
A team of solar scientists has identified the origins of the mechanism driving the sun s activity and sunspots. The discovery may solve one of the oldest unsolved problems in physics.

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 assumed that the sun s field is generated deep within the star. But an MIT study finds that the sun s activity may be shaped by a much shallower process.
