Magnetic Fields Forge Binary Stars
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Scientists have cracked a cosmic mystery: how binary stars form so early in their lives. New simulations reveal magnetic fields act like cosmic speed bumps, pulling in gas and slowing stellar spin to let stars spiral inward instead of drifting apart. Without these invisible forces, stars simply fly away — proving gravity alone isn’t the whole story. This discovery not only reshapes our understanding of star birth but may also explain how massive black holes in galactic centers eventually merge, driving the growth of supermassive black holes. The role of magnetic fields in cosmic pairings is now central — and the implications stretch far beyond stars. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
