Scientists discover the origin of the Sun’s magnetic field that will help predict solar storms

USA.- A team of scientists has revealed that the Sun’s magnetic field It is generated only about 30,000 kilometers below its surface, a discovery that promises to improve the understanding of the dynamic processes of our star and the prediction of powerful solar storms.

The study, published in the scientific journal “Nature” and led by the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, had the participation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States, among others, and through a series of complex calculations carried out on a supercomputer POTthe Researchers were able to accurately model the internal dynamics of the Sun.

This finding challenges previous theories that placed the origin of the solar magnetic field at much greater depths, estimating that it began more than 200,000 kilometers below the surface, however in the new study it is estimated that it is generated at only 30,000 kilometers.

According to the new data, the magnetic field forms much closer to the surface, which could explain the formation of sun spots and flares, internally generated phenomena through a process known as dynamo action.

The proximity of the origin of the solar magnetic field to the surface It implies that the processes that produce these sunspots and flares are more accessible for observation and study.

This could provide scientists with a valuable tool to predict and mitigate effects of solar stormswhich can have significant repercussions on planet Earth, affecting satellite communications and electrical networks.

This advance in the knowledge of the magnetic field of the Sol not only improves our understanding of solar physics, but also opens new avenues for research and development of more advanced observation technologies.

Since the possibility of more accurately predicting solar storms could have a positive impact in various areas, from the protection of technological infrastructure to the planning of space missions.
