11 months agoScientists Solve Star Spin Mystery
Astronomers can measure how fast stars spin by observing starquakesseismic tremors that are the equivalent of earthquakes on our planet.Yet these observations have posed a puzzle because many stars seem to be spinning slower than they should be.In a new study, researchers modeled how a magnetic field could grow in the internal layers of a star, dragging its rotation down.
