Because of the coronal hole, Russians are waiting for a “tense” weekend

One of the largest coronal holes appeared on the Sun, which was informally christened in honor of the famous ballerina Anastasia Volochkova. This phenomenon, captured in the images, looks like a huge dip a million kilometers wide. The journalists of the portal 360.ru explained what this hole is and whether you can expect magnetic storms in connection with its appearance.

On November 5, a huge coronal hole was captured. This phenomenon resembles a deep black crack that extends in different directions. Its transverse size is about a million kilometers, which gives it a special expressiveness.

The Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences dispelled the myth of bottomless failure. The press service of the institution said that this is just an illusion.

On the Sun appeared areas with low temperature and plasma density, which ceased to glow. This gave the impression that the sun had cracked or been erased.

On the Internet, they discuss a mysterious phenomenon - a coronal hole, which was associated with the name of Anastasia Volochkova. The pictures show that her silhouette resembles the figure of a woman standing on a twine and stretching her hand up. Volochkova is known for her love of showing stretch marks in the most unexpected places.

The cooled regions of the solar corona do not hold the plasma, which leads to its release into space at a speed of several hundred kilometers per second, affecting space weather.

Specialists of IKI RAS warned about possible magnetic storms due to the flow of fast solar wind on the night of 6 to 7 November. The magnetic field will stabilize only by November 13-14.
