Small force, big effect: how planets can affect the Sun.

Antonio Ferriz, a member of our Solar Physics Group, is involved in developing a theory that supports the controversial hypothesis that planets affect the Sun's magnetic activity. If confirmed, would allow events such as solar storms to be predicted more accurately. (Read more) - July 29, 2021
