NORTHERN CORONAL HOLE: High above the sun's north pole, a vast gap has formed in the sun's atmosphere, and it is spewing solar wind into space. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the "coronal hole" on Jan. 26th:

Coronal holes are places where the sun's magnetic field opens up and allows previously-trapped solar wind to escape. A stream of solar wind flowing from this coronal hole is expected to reach Earth on Jan 26-27, with a 30% to 40% chance of minor geomagnetic storms when it arrives. Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras, mid-week. Aurora alerts: text or voice.
PLASMA TORNADO: Solar activity is low, but it is not zero. On Jan. 24th, a curled plume of magnetized plasma near the sun's southeastern limb untwisted itself and exploded. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the tornado action:
The mouth of the twister was wide enough to swallow two planets Earth. As powerful as the storm was, however, it was overcome by the gravity of the sun. Debris from the helical explosion fell back to the stellar surface and did not form a CME. 

THE GREAT NAKED-EYE PLANET SHOW: The mainstream media is buzzing with news about astronomy: From now until Feb. 20th, anyone who wakes up before sunrise can see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter all at once, no telescope required. These are the five brightest planets, and they are a beautiful sight lined up from east to west in the predawn sky.

Although the planets can be seen any morning for the next 4 weeks, there are some dates of special interest. As January ends and February unfolds, the Moon will hop from planet to planet, acting as a can't-miss guide for novice sky watchers. The action begins on Jan. 27th when the waning full Moon passes less than 5o from Jupiter: sky map. Next, on Feb. 1st, the half Moon is only a few degrees from the red planet Mars in the constellation Libra: sky map. Two mornings later, on Feb. 3rd, a fat crescent Moon passes by Saturn, only a few degrees away: sky map. And finally, best of all, on Feb. 6th, the slender cresent Moon forms a lovely triangle with Venus and Mercury just ahead of the morning twilight: sky map.
Circle these dates on your calendar--and set your alarm for dawn. The Great Naked-eye Planet Show is a great way to start the day.
