CORONAL HOLE: There's a gaping black hole on the sun today, shown here in an X-ray image from NOAA's GOES-13 satellite:

The technical term is "coronal hole." It's a place in the sun's atmosphere where magnetic fields open up and allow solar wind to escape. A stream of solar wind flowing from this hole should reach Earth on Oct. 21st, possibly sparking a geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers, be alert for auroras!

There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
That's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught on a high tree top
That's my soul up there
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles, running 'round my brain
I guess I always thought that you could end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

From the Police, album Synchronicity, 1983
