Scientists Solve Two Decades-Old Paradox In Solar Physics

Nationalgeographic.co.id—A mysterious signal was detected by scientists in 1998 coming from Sun. Scientists discovered it while they were doing a polarization analysis of light Sun.

This mysterious polarization signal appears on the neutral sodium line wave or commonly known as the D1 line. It is possible that it is produced by the presence of a scattering process. Unfortunately, such scattering polarization should not exist. The only explanation is that chromosphere Sun practically unmagnetized, and this contradicts other evidence. This has opened a new window for scientists to explore magnetic fields chromosphere Sun which is very difficult to understand. This paradox has kept scientists busy conducting many experiments in the lab.

However, what they have been doing so far, has not found a solution. They only raise new problems. This is getting more and more complicated and confusing to scientists. Thus, this paradox has been a mystery for many years. It has challenged scientists to solve it.
