A star's global magnetic field acts as a brake, gradually slowing its rotation as it ages. But observations show that around middle age, the field can weaken by up to 100-fold—and some older stars are spinning faster than that slowdown would predict. The sun may be approaching this same magnetic turning point.
As scientists debate what's driving the shift, new questions are emerging about future space weather and the search for life beyond our solar system: on.natgeo.com/BRYT0917

Astronomers have found a Jupiter-sized world orbiting a brown dwarf 73 light-years away—and they can't agree on what to call it. Moon? Planet? They've settled, for now, on "exosatellite." Twenty years after the International Astronomical Union voted to define "planet" and demoted Pluto in the process, the line is still blurry: on.natgeo.com/BRYTC091026
