It turns out that anyone who drew a smiley-faced sun as a kid has been scientifically proved — somewhat — right. Last week, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the biggest ...

The smaller coronal hole, towards the opposite pole, is long and narrow, covering about 3.8 billion square miles on the sun - only about 0.16-percent of the solar surface. Scroll down for video ...

The gigantic coronal hole is more than 60 times wider than Earth. (Image credit: NASA/SDO/AIA) Coronal holes occur when the magnetic fields that hold the sun in place suddenly open up, causing the ...

The sun is sporting a giant coronal hole that could fit 20-30 Earths across, back-to-back. Coronal holes blast rapid solar winds into space that travel 500-800 kilometers per second.

An unexpectedly strong solar storm rocked our planet on April 23, 2023, sparking auroras as far south as southern Texas in ...

A massive hole some 62 times wider than the Earth has opened up in the Sun's atmosphere—and it could lead to aurora over the U.S.. NASA captured a photograph of the roughly 497,000-mile-wide ...

ALBAWABA - NASA reported that a massive coronal hole recently opened across the Sun's circumference, further letting out an alarmingly fast stream of solar wind reaching speeds up to 800 km/s ...

A giant hole has opened in the atmosphere of the Sun, and it's blasting out a high-speed wind that is directed right at Earth.

The gigantic coronal hole is more than 60 times wider than Earth. (Image credit: NASA/SDO/AIA) An enormous dark hole has opened up in the sun's surface and is spewing powerful streams of unusually ...

The SOHO space telescope has discovered a huge hole in the atmosphere of the sun. See NASA video of the solar coronal hole and see what it means for space weather.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has photographed a massive coronal hole gaping across the face of the sun. Here's what it means. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you ...
