Coronal hole faces Earth
Northern hemisphere sky watchers are having a cracking start to their aurora season. The past few months, we have had major solar flares, coronal mass ejection impacts and in general fairly high geomagnetic activity. Welcome solar maximum! So many people have already spotted aurora from their locations even those who do not live close to the arctic circle. Really amazing to see... and today we have more good news for you as we have a coronal hole facing our planet today which is sending a high speed solar wind stream towards our planet.
