High-speed winds from a spot on the sun’s surface may affect Earth’s magnetic field, pulling the phenomenon further south.

The wind is billowing out of a hole in the sun's upper atmosphere ... dark patches when viewed in ultraviolet and soft X-ray images of the sun. Coronal holes may superficially appear to be ...

A strong solar wind from a coronal hole — a dark area in the Sun's corona that allows wind to escape into space at high speed — is heading toward Earth and is expected to cause a minor ...

Forecasters said a coronal hole high-speed stream—winds from a cooler, less dense area on the sun’s surface—will likely result in a geomagnetic storm later Friday, marking a disturbance in ...

Thanks to a high-speed solar wind streaming from a massive coronal hole in the sun, a geomagnetic storm could set the stage for a dazzling display of the aurora borealis on Feb. 14, 2025.

A colossal coronal hole, nearly 500,000 miles (800,000 kilometers) wide, has opened in the sun's atmosphere, spewing fast-moving solar wind toward Earth. The solar wind escaping from this coronal ...

One such is called a Coronal Hole High Speed Stream. A moderately sized one recently rotated past the sun's central meridian, and the CH’s high speed stream is anticipated to reach Earth by ...

According to Met Office aurora maps, the best time to see the Northern Lights at the weekend is 9.00pm UK time, with up to a ...

During March and September equinoxes, Earth's axis is parallel to the sun's. Magnetic fields of Earth and the solar wind momentarily coincide, creating "cracks" that allow charged particles to ...
