A 2nd giant ‘hole’ has appeared on the sun, and it could send 1.8 million-mph solar winds toward Earth

‘A giant “hole” has appeared on the surface of the sun, and it could send 1.8 million-mph solar winds toward Earth by Friday.

It follows the discovery of a coronal hole on the sun 30 times the size of Earth. As this first “hole” begins rotating away from us, a new giant coronal hole — about 18 to 20 Earths across — has come into view.’
