A large hole in the sun's atmosphere is facing Earth and spewing a stream of solar wind in our direction. Extreme ultraviolet telescopes onboard NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the structure on Jan. 29th. "Coronal holes" are places where the sun's magnetic field opens up and allows solar wind to escape. They look dark because the glowing-hot plasma normally contained there is missing. In this case, it's heading for Earth. Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are likely when the gaseous material arrives on Jan. 31st or Feb. 1st. Sky watchers around the Arctic Circle should be alert for auroras. We've seen this coronal hole before. It opened in the summer of 2018 and has been lashing Earth with solar wind approximately once a month since then. The last time solar wind from this coronal hole reached Earth, on Dec. 27th, it sparked an outburst of bright auroras. http://spaceweather.com/ http://www.solarham.net/ https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/ch-70-... https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/
