A coronal hole with a diameter of about a million kilometers was formed on the sun. This is one of the largest for this year. The impact on Earth depends on the characteristics of the plasma flow: several days of magnetic storms, as well as only episodic disturbances, are possible, reported the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the ISTP SB RAS.
