The phenomenon happens every 11 years as the solar cycle comes to an end and the Sun attains its solar maximum 鈥?a regularly occurring event in which the magnetic fields on the Sun reverse and new coronal holes appear near the poles with the opposite magnetic alignment.

They contain little solar material and are significantly cooler than their surroundings, which gives them their darker appearance. According to NASA, coronal holes can influence some aurora on Earth. After magnetic forces
