SpaceWeather is reporting a solar coronal hole is turning to face Earth in the coming weekend. Coronal holes are places in the sun's atmosphere where the magnetic field opens up and allows solar wind to escape. A stream of solar wind flowing from this coronal hole is expected to reach Earth on or about August 24th. There is no report on the strength. More from SpaceWeather.
