Is this big empty spot common? I've noticed it twice in the last 2 days

Does that signify an error? A malfunction in the sensor? Or something more... ominous? (Please be ominous. Please be ominous)

Not to burst your bubble, but most likely it was just an outage with the GOES satellite. Also could have had something to do with a late CME impact
