> As hikers and other navigators know, Earth's magnetic axis is tilted
> with respect to its rotation axis. Such misalignment had not been
> expected in the Sun—but now it's been seen. NASA's Solar Dynamics
> Observatory (SDO) has been trained on the Sun for half of the current
> 11-year cycle of solar activity. Using SDO's Helioseismic and
> Magnetic Imager, Adur Pastor Yabar of the Institute of Astrophysics
> of the Canary Islands and his colleagues created daily maps of the
> line-of-sight strength and polarity of the Sun's magnetic field for
> each of the mission's first 1700 days.
