This record was found in a meteorite recovered from Antarctica. The magnetism preserved in these 4.6-billion-year-old grains provides evidence that magnetic forces may have played a role in the formation of the sun. This discovery shifts current understanding of how the early solar system evolved from a cloud of gas and dust into a structured system.Why it mattersUnderstanding the sun's birth requires analyzing the oldest available materials in the solar sy
