Colossal Solar Hole Unleashes Geomagnetic Storm Toward Earth
A massive coronal hole, over 1 million kilometers wide, has opened in the Sun's atmosphere, releasing a solar wind stream toward Earth, potentially causing geomagnetic storms from May 20-22 and a possible stronger storm on May 23; the cause is the current solar maximum.
