A hole, known as a coronal hole, has opened up in the atmosphere of the Sun’s southern hemisphere.

This coronal hole is releasing a stream of particles into space and some are likely to hit Earth, researchers have warned.

Experts said there is a 55 percent chance that the solar storm could hit Earth tomorrow, March 22, causing aurora borealis or aurora australis – Northern and Southern Lights, respectively.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), who spotted the solar storm using two NASA satellites, classified the impending solar storm as a G-1 or ‘minor’.
