Astronomers have discovered that the Sun's magnetic field is extremely turbulent and dynamic, much more than they believed. The magnetic turbulents initiate a lot of phenomena, among which it is worth highlighting the possibility of being the generator of the solar wind, and that supposedly, are the origin of explosions on the surface of the Sun. All without confirming. At the moment they have seen magnetic swirls through the photographs taken by the international probe Hinode.
