Simulations suggest most stars rotate like the Sun | Nature Astronomy
4+ day, 10+ hour ago (188+ words) Since the time of Galileo, the Sun's "differential rotation', with a fast equator and slow poles, has been a longstanding mystery of solar physics. New supercomputer simulations suggest that most solar-type stars generally exhibit this type of differential rotation. Gilman,…...
