500,000-Mile Coronal Hole on the Sun Blasts Solar Wind Toward Earth

A vast coronal hole, measuring approximately 800,000 kilometres across, has emerged on the surface of the sun. High-speed solar wind is being emitted from this region and is expected to reach Earth by January 31. Space weather experts indicate that this phenomenon has the potential to cause minor geomagnetic storm conditions, which could enhance auroral … Read more

Massive Coronal Hole on Sun Sends High-Speed Solar Wind Toward Earth

A massive coronal hole stretching over 800,000 kilometres has been detected on the Sun’s surface, releasing high-speed solar wind toward Earth. This phenomenon is expected to intensify auroral activity on January 31 and February 1. The solar wind, travelling at speeds exceeding 500 kilometres per second, could lead to minor geomagnetic storm conditions. These disturbances … Read more
