Just in.Huge 500,000-mile-wide hole opens in Sun…
- A corona hole is a region on the Sun’s surface where the magnetic field is open, allowing solar wind to escape more freely into space. These holes can vary in size, and the one mentioned in your message being 500,000 miles wide is significant, but not uncommon in
- solar activity.
- When these coronal holes occur, they can lead to solar wind interacting with Earth’s magnetic field, sometimes resulting in auroras (northern and southern lights), and occasionally, geomagnetic storms.
