What is it, disco ball? Glowing ball of cat hair? Spherical alien with a mustache? No, this is our sun. NASA has published a video with a dynamic computer model of the magnetic fields of the sun. The pink and green lines are the open magnetic lines of force, while the white closed lines of force come back to the surface of the star.
In addition to the model itself, it will captivate the imagination, understanding how the sun's magnetic fields work will help us better prepare for solar storms or coronal mass ejections — events that can disrupt electrical networks, GPS devices and many other technological systems on Earth. .
Researchers hope that such computer models, together with observations from satellites and microsatellites, will allow to predict such phenomena in advance.
