Solar Orbiter reveals rapid polar magnetic field drift on the Sun
Data from ESA's Solar Orbiter spacecraft, collected during its unique vantage over the solar south pole, demonstrate that the Sun's magnetic field is carried towards the pole at speeds faster than previous models suggested. The measurements analyzed by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research incorporated Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) data from March 21, 202
