#^Solar Age Measurement Varies with Magnetic ActivityGeneva, Switzerland (SPX) Aug 20, 2024

A new study led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) reveals that the Sun's magnetic activity significantly affects its seismic age estimation. Contrary to earlier assumptions, this influence is substantial and has major implications for determining the Sun's size, age, and chemical composition. The research, published in 'Astronomy and Astrophysics', opens the door to more in-depth studies on th
