Sun-Like Stars Generate Magnetic Field in Unexpected Way

With masses less than half that of the sun, red dwarfs are the smallest of stars (the most massive stars are 100 or more times larger than the sun, according to NASA). Red dwarfs also have a very different interior structure compared with the sun, which is why the authors of the new research were surprised to find similarities in the way the magnetic fields in these two types of stars change as they age. The sun's magnetic field plays a huge role in protecting Earth from harsh radiation from spa
