Dark Hole Of The Sun
- 9 years ago
A photo recently released by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the sun with a bright glow except for a dark hole-like patch in the middle which is actually called a coronal hole where the density of particles is lower and where gusty winds blow materials out into space.
The sun has a constantly changing surface which, at times, contains what appears to be holes.
NASA recently released a composite image taken on October 4th by its Solar Dynamics Observatory, which shows a dark, vacant-looking patch amidst bright swirls.
This noticeable area is called a coronal hole where gusty solar winds blow through an opening in the sun’s magnetic field.
The space appears relatively dark because, in contrast with the packed, intense hot spot
