An anonymous reader writes “Japanese scientists have spotted [0]two huge
holes on the sun’s magnetic field, and it appears there is some reason to
be concerned about. The holes, called coronal holes, are gateways for
solar material and gas to spill out into space, according to space.com.
The gaps in the sun’s magnetic field make a hole through its atmosphere,
letting gas out, NASA has said.”
