The Nasa separates it and calls it the magnetic sun, which is completely false. :(

That sounds really silly of them; I hate it when people simplify stuff like that. (Remember when NASA described CO₂ as a "global thermostat" when talking about solar flares?)

Do you have a link to that NASA article? I can try to make sense of it for you, or alternatively just advise you to ignore it if it's that bad.
