On the Sun, coronal holes represent regions where the solar magnetic field does not connect back to the Sun. In these cases, the magnetic field guides the charged particles of the solar wind into distant space, forming the fast solar wind.

This visualization shows the coronal hole over the course of 24 hours, sampled about once per minute.

These are the full-resolution 4Kx4K images with color tables. They are organized with timestamps and frames.
