Discover the mystery in the sun

The new study has overturned all long-standing knowledge about the mechanism of motion in the sun, according to experts from the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA).

According to the Astrophysical Journal Letters report , experts discovered that in the sun, there is a double cycle, with two overlapping cycles.

Instead of a simple cycle including the flow moving from the equator to the poles near the surface and then returning to the starting point, data was collected from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). shows that there are two layers of circulation inside our central star.

'For decades, people have assumed that the solar cycle depends on flows to the poles, changing the magnetic field between cycles , ' said Space.com quoted Philip Scherrer of Stanford University (USA). ).

Scherrer said the model-based prediction did not produce exactly the same results as it did in fact, and thanks to SDO's two-year data collection, the experts learned more about what was happening. happens under the hot surface of the sun.

The new finding could help improve the predicted results of the weak solar cycle's next strength, particularly important when the sun's magnetic pole cycle happens in the next few months.
