A gigantic hole has opened up in the Sun's atmosphere and is currently big enough to spot from Earth. The structure located near the solar equator measures nearly 500,000 miles wide—more than 62 times the width of Earth—and is spewing a fast-moving stream of solar wind—charged particles or plasma— toward our planet,

The area measures over 62 times the diameter of Earth. The post Huge 500,000-mile-wide hole opens in Sun appeared first on Talker.

A massive 800,000 km-wide hole on the Sun's surface may lead to solar storms as early as February, potentially impacting space weather and communication systems on Earth.

A vast 500,000 mile-wide coronal hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere, sending high-speed magnetic tradition towards the Earth. The area measures over 62 times the diameter of Earth and is now shooting high-speed solar wind towards us.
