**Scientists Finally Locate the Sun’s Hidden Magnetic Engine Deep Beneath Its Surface**
By New Jersey Institute of Technology - Published on 20 March 2026
New observations are helping scientists peer beneath the Sun’s surface, revealing where its magnetic activity may truly begin. Every 11 years, the Sun’s magnetic field reverses. As that cycle unfolds, sunspots appear at middle latitudes and drift toward the equator in a butterfly-shaped pattern before disappearing as the cycle starts over. These darker, cooler patches [...]
