NASA Discovers Massive Hole 60 Times Earth’s Diameter on the Sun

New York: NASA has made an astonishing discovery on the surface of the Sun – a giant hole that is 60 times the diameter of the Earth. According to NASA, this solar hole has rapidly expanded to 8,00,000 km in just 24 hours.

The massive hole, known as a coronal hole, is located near the Sun’s equator. These coronal holes are formed when the fast solar wind rushes into space. The images captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which constantly monitors the Sun, reveal the sheer size of this phenomenon. This hole is big enough to hold about 60 Earths, making it a truly remarkable discovery.

This finding is part of a series of phenomena taking place on the Sun. The hole appears black in the pictures because these parts are less hot than the surroundings. Since December 4, strong solar winds have been coming to Earth from this hole, causing major disturbances to the Earth’s magnetic field.

Solar storms, which are bursts of mass and energy from the solar surface, can cause changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. These phenomena on the Sun also indicate that there may be beautiful auroras even in places where auroras do not normally occur on Earth.

It is still uncertain how long the sun holes will remain on the surface of the sun. NASA noted that a previous coronal hole lasted for 27 days.

This discovery opens up opportunities for further research into the Sun’s magnetic and solar activities, providing valuable insights into the universe. Scientists and researchers are eagerly awaiting more information to better understand this extraordinary phenomenon.
