When will the next big solar storm hit Earth? New discoveries about the sun’s magnetic field can improve predictions

New research indicates that the Sun’s magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of extreme solar storms like the one struck the earth earlier this month. It appears that the magnetic field originates 20,000 miles below the surface of the sun. Previous calculations placed … Read more
