The "magnetic field of the sun" is 10 times larger than expected

Researchers at Abervitit University have discovered that the solar magnetic field is 10 times larger than expected, changing all perceptions of solar activity.

"The magnetic field controls everything that happens in the outer shell of the sun, but we have few measurements of its power and its spatial properties, which are very critical and important indicators of the sun's rays," explains the researcher. David Caridze in an article published on arXiv.org. Earth's climate, with no ability to measure temperature in different geographical locations. "

Caridze and his team of scientists were able to make a unique measurement of the solar field of the sun's rays by observing the solar glow with the optical telescope (SST). In September 2017, astronomers observed the sun for 10 days in the hope of receiving intense glare and focused their observations on one site, about 1% of the Sun's disk space. In fact, they succeeded, because September 10, 2017, the site was extremely animated, although it is less serious than September 6.

"This is the first time that we are able to measure the magnetic field of the central rings of solar rays with such precision," he said. According to these measurements, the amount of magnetic field at an altitude of 25,000 km on the surface of the sun is equivalent to 350 Gauss (Gauss unit of measurement in electrical magnetism), which exceeds a thousand times the magnetic field of the Earth. This figure is ten times higher than previously thought.
