Hole in the Sun
This dark shape across the Sun's face is a coronal hole. It is a low-density region where the solar magnetic field opens into space. Coronal holes are the source of the high-speed solar wind, which is a flow of atoms and electrons. These holes are studied in ultraviolet and x-ray light.
