Original Note:
As the distinction is not made in the post: This is not a literal hole or a giant sunspot - it is simply a cooler patch on the Sun's outer layer that appears black in EUV or x-ray imaging known as a coronal hole. This occurs all the time; it is not something to worry about. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/coronal-holes
