A Hole In The Sun Could Wipe Out The Earth’s Power After Unleashing 1.8 Million MPH Winds

A planet sized hole has ripped through the surface of the sun letting out intense 1.8 million mph winds which could threaten our entire planet by the end of the week.

The gaping hole, which stretches 20 times the size of the Earth, is the second to appear in a week and has sent solar winds hurling towards our planet within the next 24 hours.

If the winds make impact with our planet, the Earth’s magnetic field, satellites, and most technologies would cease to work leading to a potential worldwide power cut.

The first hole appeared March 23, and triggered stunning auroras lighting up the night sky.

NASA released a statement after the recent discovery describing the holes as “magnetically open areas that are one source of high-speed solar wind.”

They continued to explain how when Coronal Mass Ejections strike the Earth they could cause geomagnetic storms, enhanced auroras and disrupt radio waves, as well as GPS and any number of electrical systems we have in place.

The massive influx of energy could overwhelm our power grids and cause permanent damage to transformers around the world.

The last explosion coming from the sun’s surface was listed as an “X-Class flare” meaning that it narrowly missed the Earth and almost causing an unknowable amount of damage to our atmosphere.

No, the sun is “transitioning”.Adding another hole.
