Space weather
Solar wind
speed: 364.9 km/sec
density: 3.0 protons/cm3
The Earth-facing side of the sun is blank--no sunspots.
CORONAL HOLE: A dark hole has formed in the sun's atmosphere. NASA's
STEREO-B spacecraft photographed it just hours ago:
It's a "coronal hole," a vast region where solar magnetic fields have
opened up and allowed some of the sun's atmosphere to escape. The
runaway atmosphere is heading our way in the form of a solar wind
stream. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when it
arrives on or about May 3rd.
