That header photo doesn’t do the dragon justice. (For shame!). Here’s NASA’s own photo:

THE TIME HAS COME
C-can we come back to the hole in the sun bit
nah, imma just enjoy the absinthe in the sky with diamonds
I mean… aurora borealis is caused by solar radiation interacting with the magnetosphere where it bends toward the earth at the poles. The most spectacular displays are caused by a solar mass ejection, which is the sun flinging off a bunch of itself. This process doesn’t exactly leave a hole, per se, but it does come from a sunspot, which looks like a hole.
So, in a way that bends the use of language nearly to the breaking point, yes, the green dragon did come from a “hole” in the sun.
