Scientists have fully mapped convection cells in Earth’s magnetic field for the first time using Cluster data. Results show that the behaviour of the cells is heavily linked to solar activity.

A detailed example of a light bridge crossing a sunspot’s umbra. In this picture, the presence of convection cells surrounding the sunspot is also evident. Hot solar material (plasma) rises in the ...
