Why 2024 Was A Big Deal For The Sun These dark areas on the Sun, as seen in satellite images, can produce space weather events known as coronal hole high-speed streams (CH HSS), which can trigger ...
On July 11, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a big hole on the surface of the sun. Tom Yulsman who writes for Discover's ImaGeo blog notes that there is no reason for people to be concerned.
A coronal hole at the Sun's north pole observed in soft X-ray. Coronal hole size and population correspond with the solar cycle. As the Sun heads toward solar maximum, the coronal holes move closer and closer to the Sun's poles. [4] During solar maxima, the number of coronal holes decreases until the magnetic fields on the Sun reverse.
The quasar emitted the light observed on Earth today less than 690 million years after the Big Bang, about 13.1 billion years ago. [5] [9] The quasar's luminosity is estimated at 4 × 10 13 solar luminosities. [1] This energy output is generated by a supermassive black hole estimated at 7.8 × 10 8 solar masses. [1]
Some black holes may have cosmological origins, and would then never have been stars. This is thought to be especially likely in the cases of the most massive black holes. Stellar black holes are objects with approximately 4–15 M ☉. Intermediate-mass black holes range from 100 to 10 000 M ☉.
The Sun is 1.4 million kilometers (4.643 light-seconds) wide, about 109 times wider than Earth, or four times the Lunar distance, and contains 99.86% of all Solar System mass. The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star that makes up about 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System. [26]

The supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87, here shown by an image by the Event Horizon Telescope, is among the black holes in this list. This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses (M ☉), approximately 2 × 10 30 kilograms.
