The solar probe has peered over the edge: the magnetic field at the Sun's poles has been measured for the first time. The north and south behave differently, as if the star has two personalities. This will help predict space hurricanes more accurately.
🎯 Every 11 years, the Sun's magnetic poles swap places, like a house where the attic and basement change roles. The last time this happened was in 2013.
