A giant cat was found in the sun.
In the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and ISTP SB RAS, they discovered an unusual coronal hole, the outline of which resembles the silhouette of a cat.
However, to see the cosmic soft, the image of the sun had to be rotated, scientists joked.
Coronal holes are regions in the solar atmosphere from which streams of charged particles erupt into space. They can reach the Earth and cause geomagnetic disturbances.
