A research team led by Kazuki Tokuda of Kyushu University has shed new light into a critical question on how baby stars develop. Using the ALMA radio telescope in Chile, the team found that in its infancy, the protostellar disk that surrounds a baby star discharges plumes of dust, gas, and electromagnetic energy. These 'sneezes,' as the researchers describe them, release the magnetic flux within the protostellar disk, and may be a vital part of star formation.

Like the Earth, planet Mercury has its own magnetic field generated by the dynamo action in the core. Comparison of Mercury’s magnetic field with the geomagnetic field using the magnetic dipole reveals that Mercury’s dipole is offset northward from the planet’s center, while the Earth’s magnetic dipole is at the geocenter.
