Center for Space Science analyzed space and ground-based data from the past 25 years in order to reach their findings, according to a news release based on the study which was published in the journal Nature on March 24. The mysterious high-frequency retrograde (HFR) waves move in the opposite direction of the Sun’s natural rotation and appear to be moving in a swirling motion, according to the news release. These waves are moving three times the speed established by current theory. Scientists aren’t sure if other well-known properties of the sun such as magnetism, gravity or convection, could explain why these new waves are moving more quickly. "If the HFR waves could be attributed to any of these three processes, then the finding would have answered some open questions we still have about the Sun," said Chris S.
