Black Hole Sun.Once we pass through a possible geomagnetic storm on New Years, we will have two coronal holes that will be facing our planet by the end of the week. Coronal hole #05 in particular appears to be opening up and this could deliver a solar wind stream past Earth by this January 5th. Further updates will be provided in the days ahead when necessary.What is a coronal hole? A coronal hole is an opening in the Sun's atmosphere associated with open magnetic field lines. High-speed solar winds originate from within these holes which appear as dark zones when viewed at different optical wavelengths. Coronal holes can occur at any time during a solar cycle, but are typically larger and more frequent towards solar maximum.SolarHam.com
