In fact, it has been very active as far as forming active coronal holes, which … [Read more...] about Images of Coronal Holes 2018

The Sun will eventually be darkened as it has been prophesied, there is no question about that. We will eventually experience a temporary darkness upon the earth.

Coronal holes are also detected where open or uni-polar solar magnetic field lines are present or … [Read more...] about Coronal Holes
