As per reports, solar winds that are moving rapidly from a coronal hole are soon going to hit the Earth and can lead to a huge geomagnetic storm. This event is expected to take place just before the annular solar eclipse occurs in the early hours of October 14. (Pixabay)

SpaceWeather.com reports suggest that that a stream of solar wind, flowing at approximately 500 km/s from a hole in the Sun's atmosphere, is expected to reach Earth. This situation is expected to get worse and can lead to a geomagnetic storm. (NASA/SDO)
