Stealthy Solar Storm & Dark Holes on the Sun: Solar Storm Forecast 10-16-2016

The Sun’s activity picked up this week with a stealthy solar storm that caused aurora all around the world. Some fast wind that follows could continue low-level storming through the weekend. Catch up on aurora pics from this storm & see what else the Sun has in store!
