Researchers find that the sun’s magnetic field is ten times stronger than previously believed

Phys.org  March 29, 2019
An international team of researchers (UK, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia, Sweden, Georgia, Germany) analyzed the solar flare which erupted near the surface of the sun on 10 September 2017. The analysis showed that the coronal magnetic field strengths was as high as 350 Gauss at heights up to 25 Mm above the solar limb. These measurements are substantially higher than several previous estimates and may have considerable implications for our current understanding of the extended solar atmosphere…read more.
