A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE is turning toward Earth.

There appear to be two holes. Let’s call them “A” and “B”. I’m quite sure that by January 21st, the Coronal A Hole will be gone.

OR, the two will continue to widen until the magnetic field completely collapses, then starts back up after the poles reverse.

The Sun's pole flipping is overdue, so it's not unexpected.

Wait a minute...

There was nothing in my horoscope about this.

Should I carry an umbrella?

Yes. Under six inches of of lead, ten feet of concrete and twenty feet of water just to be safe. For gamma ray bursts however, increase aforementioned by a factor of ten. Bring enough snacks and drinks for duration.

ImJustAnotherOkie :" My guess is Sunny Delight doesn't come out of the Coronal Hole."

I see what you did there !
I guess we'll just have to wait for it to Peter out !

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

He was the King, He’s pretty much approaching NothingHood so nobody want’s to touch his Corona Hole anymore.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Probably just Hot Gas.

Explain to me like I'm a tenth grader.
Wait a minute. I attended government run schools my whole life.
Explain that to me like I'm a first grader.
Wait a minute. What's the difference?

The difference is 2-1/2 feet in height and 140 pounds....

Who knew they had cars and air conditioners on the sun.

60 miles per HOUR......as compared to 500 miles per SECOND.

But that begs a question. With a release of pressure, there is an accompanying cooling. Does the Sun have a cooling at the coronal hole?

[higgmeister]

Oh no, not that! /s

You live up to your name! I hope the Coronal A Hole takes the Coronal B Hole with him.

[Afterguard]

Outstanding! It’s gonna be tough ever beating that post.

[WMarshal]

It is the Def Star. OMG!

Everyone calm down and enjoy the spectacular northern lights if you live far enough north.

I grew up in MT and only say the Norther lights once. It was in 1992 I think.

I see what you did there ;)

If you’re looking for intelligent, easy to “get up to speed on” lessons on the sun, go to Youtube and review “Suspicious0bservers”. He also has a website.

Ben Davidson is a PA resident who has been studying the sun for over a decade. He, and other colleagues have created earthquake prediction models that recently received successful peer review and are now accepted science - his work is saving lives.

Suspicious0bservers.org too, but you have to pay for that site.

I’m betting that global warming had something to do with this.

approaching NothingHood

I will rejoice when it is official, for sure.
