Astronomers have noticed a strange anomaly on the Sun — a coronal hole of impressive size, which is relentlessly turning towards the Earth. This was reported by the Spaceweather portal.
The width of the anomaly was about 800 thousand kilometers, which is 62 times the diameter of the planet. Experts warned that the phenomenon portends a strong increase in the solar wind and strong disturbances in the Earth's geomagnetic field. Weather-dependent people should prepare for powerful and prolonged magnetic storms.
Coronal holes are areas where the star's magnetic fields release solar wind into space. It excites the geomagnetic field of the planet, and the resulting tension in the atmosphere goes into the ground, which provokes seismic activity.
Earlier www1.ru reported that solar activity on January 21 led to a powerful magnetic storm on Earth.
