The Faraday rotation of the 8.2 and 13-cm radio emission of the Crab Nebula during its 1977-1982 occultations by the solar supercorona has been measured with the RATAN-600 telescope. The nebula passes south of the sun, coming within about 5 radii. Supplemented by similar measurements in Japan and in Germany (an occultation of PSR 0525 + 21), the results indicate that throughout the 11-yr solar cycle from 1971 to 1982 a negative rotation measure predominated (magnetic field directed away from the observer). Neither dipole, radial, nor spiral models for the sun's magnetic field can explain this effect.
