WTH!!! Gigantic U.S Shaped Hole at the Sun To Blast Earth With Solar Wind
WTH!!! Gigantic U.S Shaped Hole at the Sun To Blast Earth With Solar Wind
A space telescope aimed at the sun has spotted a U.S shaped gigantic hole in the solar atmosphere — a dark spot that covers nearly a quarter of our closest star, spewing solar material and gas into space.
The so-called coronal hole at the sun’s south pole came into view on Novenber 27 and NASA’s SDO spacecraft, showing the region as a vast dark spot surrounded by solar activity.
After the reversal, new coronal holes appear near the poles. Then as the sun approaches the solar minimum again, the holes creep closer to the equator, growing in both size and number, according to NASA.
