In a major breakthrough, a team of scientists led by Dibyendu Nandi of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata, has used a computer model of solar activity to explain how the Sun lost its spots and solar storms for a long period. Sunspots are dark spots on the Sun with strong magnetic activity. The results of the study on the characteristics of the Sun is slated for international release on Thursday in the "Nature" journal and has been praised by NASA as a breakthrough in generating advanced knowledge of sustained good weather in space.
