Solar storm INCOMING: Space weather experts warn of ‘BIG ONE’ heading to Earth TOMORROW

During a solar maximum, the Sun gives off more heat and is littered with sunspots. Less heat in a solar minimum is due to a decrease in magnetic waves.

However, before a solar minimum begins, the sun usually unleashes mega solar flares which are released into the deep cosmos.

This hole on the sun first opened in the summer of 2018, and has been barraging Earth with cosmic radiation ever since.

Cosmic weather forecasting website Space Weather said: “During solar minimum, long-lasting holes open in the sun’s atmosphere, releasing streams of solar wind into space. One of those holes is facing Earth now, and it’s a big one.
