There is a huge hole in the Sun!
How big you might query .
Try 50 Earths that's how big.
As scary as a hole 50 Earths might be it is even scarier because the huge hole spews out a
stream of high - speed solar wind, creating a geomagnetic storm close to our own planet.
The image was taken on October 10 in wavelengths of 193 Angstroms, which is invisible to our
eyes. The dark spot, known as a coronal hole, which materialized last week remains harmless to
humans on Earth but can interfere with satellite communications and some high-altitude radio
signals.
Coronal holes appear randomly on the outer layer of the sun, making it look darker than the
rest of the star. Caused b y anomalies in the sun's magnetic field, th e darker patch is
abundant with colder, less dense, low-energy gas and plasma.
