Scientists have advanced in their quest to create an accurate model of the sun's inner workings, which could pave the way to a better understanding of our solar system.

Accurate solar models might help researchers figure out how our star affects the planets of the solar system, and warn of impending solar storms that could affect Earth as well.*

A*new study in the journal Science details a model that reconciles both the small-scale magnetic field features of the sun with the larger-scale features in high resolution, one of the first steps on the long road toward making an accurate computer model of our sun. Read more...
