Twisted like a phone cord, a magnetic loop on the Sun snapped and ejected gas, showing that plasma pulsations are a universal way to measure magnetic fields across the Universe.

For the first time, a twisted magnetic loop on the Sun was seen snapping at one end and ejecting plasma. This helped discover a universal rule for magnetic fields throughout the Universe — now they can be measured simply by trembling.
🎯 The solar loop was so twisted that if it were a rubber band, you’d have to twist it one and a half times before it snapped.
