June 21, 2026, is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, a.k.a. the summer solstice! ☀️
The extra sunlight has got us smiling, but the Sun owes its grin to something else: coronal holes! 🕳️
Coronal holes are cooler, lower density parts of the solar atmosphere where solar material escapes to space at incredible speeds. Dive into coronal holes with us in this episode of NASA’s Illuminate.👇
