NASA announced that a new 20-Earth-size hole has been observed on the Sun. The giant hole can send solar winds to the Earth at a speed of 2 million 896 thousand kilometers.
A new 20-Earth-size hole has been observed above the Sun. It's the second discovery this week, after 30 Earth-sized holes detected on March 22, according to NASA.
The coronal hole is expected to send solar winds towards the Earth at a speed of 2 million 896 thousand kilometers per hour. It was stated that these winds do not pose a threat to the world.
Scientists announced that the winds expected to reach the Earth on Friday will not damage the electronic infrastructure, but will only create auroras (Northern lights) in some regions.
CLOSE TO THE SUN'S EQUATOR
While these fairly common coronal holes are usually seen at the Sun's poles, the last hole discovered was near the equator.
"The location of the coronal hole makes it very interesting," said Daniel Verscharen, professor of space physics at the University of London Academy. said.
"I expect a fast wind to come to Earth from this coronal hole this Friday night until Saturday morning," Verscharen said. he said.
