The solar dynamo that drives sunspots and solar flares could be located near the surface of the sun scientists find, solving a 400-year-old solar mystery and providing a weird link to black holes.

The L1 point is 1.5 million km away from the Earth, it will take four months to reach the orbit. All the layers of the sun will be studied,” said the former NASA scientist Mila Mitra.

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun’s outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict ...
