fields of distant stars arranged? Where do they come from, how do they differ, and how do they affect things? How can we change the Earth's magnetic field and what are the methods for observing it? What is the phenomenon of the Kursk magnetic anomaly? What is the structure of magnetic fields in spiral galaxies and the Sun, and how are they related to the magnetic cycles that scientists have been trying to track for a long time? Answers to these and many other questions are accompanied by entertaining stories from the lives of scientists and the history of national and world science.
