Hole In The Sun Poem by Tor Magnor Solvang

A dark patch on the Sun, so wide,
Eight hundred thousand miles it did stride.
Bigger than our Earth, twenty-three times the size,
A sight that made scientists open their eyes.

Not a tear, but a gap in the Sun's embrace,
Where its magnetic field lost its place.
Solar wind, a fast, charged stream,
Rushed out, like a powerful dream.

Captured by a satellite, with cameras so keen,
In ultraviolet light, the dark region was seen.
Colder, less dense, a shadow it made,
As solar wind at millions of miles per hour played.

Earth felt its touch, a day or two after,
Increasing the chances of storms, causing laughter.
As the Sun gets busier, nearing its peak,
These openings appear, making the cosmos speak.

Strong auroras glow, a beautiful sight,
From these long streams, shining so bright.
Not always from flares, but from this steady flow,
That dances with Earth, putting on a show.

Satellites watched, and systems were checked,
For any disruptions, to protect and connect.
Astronauts too, in space far and wide,
Are guarded from dangers the Sun can provide.

For ages it's shone, a comforting gleam,
But this event shows a more violent extreme.
A reminder that even our closest star,
Holds mysteries in the cosmos, near and far.
