Nothing better than getting blasted by the southern hole
Whoever smelled it, dealt it.We don't wanna freak you out or anything — but there's about to be a massive gas ejection from the Sun's coronal hole., "gaseous material is [flowing] from a southern hole in the Sun's atmosphere," and it's going to hit Earth's atmosphere on August 3.
Fortunately, as gross as that sounds, these kinds of geomagnetic storms are both pretty commonplace and not a huge risk to us back on Earth. These sorts of holes in the Sun's corona — the outermost part of its atmosphere — occur in spots when the star's gas or plasma becomes cooler and less dense, asFrom these holes, solar material is able to surge outward at more than a million miles per hour.Luckily, Earth's magnetic field absorbs these solar winds with little more than a slight compression of electrons at our poles.and possibly some minor satellite malfunctions., commonly known as the Northern Lights.
This expected solar storm is no different, and as a category G1 storm, it's expected to be weak, according toWhich means we don't need to be worrying about this particular hole as the Sun heads into its most active storm season in
