Unlocking the Mysteries of the Sun: Supercomputer Simulations Paint a Picture of the Sun's Magnetic Field
Today, scientists have made an incredible breakthrough in understanding the Sun’s magnetic activity. Using the world’s most powerful supercomputer, scientists have developed simulations that give us a detailed picture of the Sun’s magnetic field and how it evolves over time. The simulations reveal that the Sun’s magnetic field is constantly changing, with large-scale changes occurring every 11 years. The simulations also show that the Sun’s magnetic field is highly complex, and that it’s not just a simple dipole field. This gives us a much better understanding of the Sun’s magnetic activity and how it affects the solar system.
