So have they discovered solar storms caused by giant 'magnetic rope' or not?
"Confirming the magnetic rope's existence would not only help astronomers understand the formation of solar storms, but would also be a key first step toward mitigating the adverse effects these eruptions can have on satellite communications on Earth."
Would?
"Scientists suspected that the magnetic rope, if it indeed exists, is the phenomenon that powers eruptions."
If it indeed exists?
"This feature is distinctly different from the surrounding magnetic field lines, and the intensely hot channel is now believed to be the magnetic rope that scientists have been looking for."
Believed to be?
