This looks like something from a movie, unreal.

If you watch the trailer, you'll see the "like a movie" in the first 30 seconds or so. The holes are created so the baddie Galactus (A "cosmic" being) can feed more easily on the planet.

4.5 billion-year-old rock found on roadside
A man who tossed an odd-looking rock into his truck years ago discovers it's a scientific marvel.

just laying around? .... years ago. So, there was no crater i'd have to assume, it wasnt burried.

My God how did it get here! That's just about as old as the sun?

It's amazing what they can do with special effects nowadays.

Absence of sunspots make scientists wonder if they're seeing a calm before a storm of energy

Sunspots come and go, but recently they have mostly gone. For centuries, astronomers have recorded when these dark blemishes on the solar surface emerge, only to fade away after a few days, weeks or months. Thanks to their efforts, we know that sunspot numbers ebb and flow in cycles lasting about 11 years.

But for the past two years, the sunspots have mostly been missing. Their absence, the most prolonged in nearly 100 years, has taken even seasoned sun watchers by surprise. "This is solar behavior we haven't seen in living memory," says David Hathaway, a physicist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
The sun is under scrutiny as never before, thanks to an armada of space telescopes. The results they beam back are portraying our nearest star, and its influence on Earth, in a new light. Sunspots and other clues indicate that the sun's magnetic activity is diminishing and that the sun may even be shrinking. Together, the results hint that something profound is happening inside the sun. The big question is: What?

Interesting article. Who sees anything hin this picture? If you don't, then I don't either.

looking at the original size might help one see nothing.
