The Good and the Bad of the Sun's Recent “Hole.”

A huge coronal hole has opened in the sun, which despite its name is not a hole, it is an area of lower density that appears dark in x-ray vision, since it does not emit much radiation, that is good, but there The magnetic field is unipolar and opens towards interplanetary space expelling solar winds at high speed and that is bad.

According to experts, the winds from this new hole will reach our planet between December 4 and 5, although it is expected that they will cause a very moderate level of geomagnetic storm, which would be a G1, which is the lowest on the scale, which is very different if it was the injection of cannibalistic coronal mass, which is a cloud of particles and radiation in waves, and one wave was faster than the others and ended up overwhelming the others, charging them with energy, and it was the one that impacted us between the 1st and December 2, causing a G3 level geomagnetic storm.

What we can do is enjoy the auroras caused by solar storms like this image captured by aurora hunters last night between December 1 and 2.
