Astronomers 'heard' a solar eruption's magnetic field for the first time by catching its radio signal.

Astronomers for the first time caught a 'radio echo' from magnetic knots inside a giant cloud of solar plasma. This allowed them to measure its invisible force — from 5.6 to 7.9 gauss. It's like hearing a magnetic string ringing in space.
🎯 A single average eruption carries about a billion tons of material from the solar corona — that's like the mass of a thousand Mount Everests.
