Groundbreaking research led by Northwestern University has upended long-standing beliefs about the Sun's magnetic field.

The study, published in Nature, reveals that the magnetic field is generated much closer to the surface, only 30,000 kilometers below.

This challenges previous theories about the Sun's magnetic field generation.

Researchers utilized complex calculations and supercomputer simulations to propose a new model.

The new model better aligns with solar observations.

This discovery revolutionizes our understanding of solar events and has implications for predicting phenomena like the aurora borealis and potentially dangerous solar storms.

The findings emphasize the need for improved early warning systems and disaster preparedness in the face of powerful solar disturbances.

The research paves the way for further studies in solar science.
