Scientists measured the global magnetic field of the solar corona – Tech Explorist

Using observations from the Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP), an international team of solar physicists has recently measured the global magnetic field of the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere, the solar corona.
Until now, routine measurements of the solar magnetic field have only been achieved at the surface of our star. Its been more than a century for the first measurement of the Sun’s magnetic field. We still do not have a precise knowledge of the magnetic field in the upper s…
