The NASA spacecraft called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO, for its acronym in English) has discovered two new holes in the center of the solar corona. These holes are the "energy sources" that can cause one of the most spectacular cosmic events and feared for their violence, a solar storm. If there are with sufficient force, cosmic eruptions are able to damage our energy networks and disrupt satellite communications systems. For now, the two new holes detected threaten not seem so bad, but very soon they will affect the Earth as aurora borealis.
images of the pair of holes plots were obtained from 9 to 12 January by an instrument of NASA's working in the extreme ultraviolet. New images of the phenomenon, which also can be seen in a video in two and three dimensions for the second special glasses are needed, "were repeated on 10 January. One of the holes is under Ecuador's our star, the other is above.
