Stein_Sun: Visualization of the complex magnetic field produced as magnetic flux rises toward the Sun¹s surface from the deep convection zone. The image shows a snapshot of how the magnetic field has evolved two days from the time uniform, untwisted, horizontal magnetic field started to be advected by inflows at the bottom (20 megameters deep). Axes are in megameters, and the color scale shows the log of the magnetic field strength. Credit: Robert Stein, Michigan State University; Tim Sandstrom, NASA/Ames
