A Snapshot of the Sun’s Global Magnetic Field

Description
A Snapshot of the Sun’s Global Magnetic Field
By following the paths of particles emitted by a solar flare, astronomers have begun mapping the solar magnetic field
outside the Sun. The field guides the outflowing particles, which, in turn, emit radio waves that indicate the position
of the field. These data were collected by the Ulysses spacecraft in 1994. Ulysses was the first spacecraft to
explore interplanetary space from high above the plane of the ecliptic
