Ever seen the northern lights? You have a magnetic layer in Earth’s atmosphere to thank for those beautiful displays. But the magnetosphere does a lot more than create auroras.

They say beauty is only skin deep, and apparently so is the Sun’s magnetic field, according to a recent study. The Sun’s magnetic field is shallow, suggests new research, which used computer ...
