A giant coronal hole, over five times larger than Jupiter, has recently been observed in the Sun's atmosphere. This event is causing a powerful solar wind to surge through the Solar System.A coronal hole is essentially a vast region in the Sun's atmosphere where the solar magnetic field is open, allowing solar winds to escape more freely. Unlike sunspots or solar flares, coronal holes are not immediately visible in optical light but are distinctly seen in ultraviolet wavelengths.
