These dark areas on the Sun, as seen in satellite images, can produce space weather events known as coronal hole high-speed streams (CH HSS), which can trigger Northern Lights on Earth.

Aurora chasers are on high alert for possible geomagnetic storm conditions from March 4 to March 5. Northern lights possible ...
