"A University of Hawaii astronomer and international colleagues caught the star tau Bootis flipping its magnetic field from north to south, similar to the sun's magnetic behavior. "'Now, for the first time, we are probing the magnetic cycles of stars other than the sun,' said Evgenya Shkolnik, of the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the University of Hawaii-Manoa Institute for Astronomy. "It is the first time such a change in magnetic field has been seen in a star other than the sun, the researchers said, reporting their work in the British journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society."
