Giant hole has just opened in the sun. It will sweep the earth with solar winds and boreal auroras

A giant hole has opened into the sun atmosphere and is releasing a high-speed wind that is directly directed to Earth.

Can be excited about explosion of solar particles that are coming. Let’s have a moderate geomagnetic storm From this Saturday, according to the NOAA space weather forecast center.

One coronal hole It is a region where the magnetic fields on the surface of the sun weaken and open, allowing the wind of charged particles that constantly blow from the sun to the solar system escape more freely.

According to, when passing through the earth, some of the particles are tangled in the earthly magnetic field, sometimes with Impressive results.

The particles are dragged by the magnetic field lines for high latitudes, where they are thrown into the upper atmosphere of the earth, integrating with particles into the atmosphere to produce a dancing glow- the light of the boreal and southern auroras.

One G2 level storm (The scale goes to G5, which is only observed very rarely) is a storm that does not pose a significant danger. Some satellites may have to make minor route corrections and may Some high frequency radio blackouts occur.

A exciting part for us It is the probability of Occurrence of Aurorasfrom the poles to a maximum latitude of about 55º north and south.

O Northern hemisphere is approaching the summer solstice, which is the shortest night of the year, so Observation hours may be a little limited.

We have been absolutely spoiled with Auroras at this maximum solar, the most active period of the 11 -year sun activity cycle – but this is no reason not to leave and appreciate the “fire fire.”
