Scientists at Shandong University in China have confirmed the existence of space tornadoes, after observations of electrons raining down in Earth’s upper atmosphere, by analyzing a plasma vortex observed over the North Pole of 621 miles wide.
This is the first time that a tornado has been noticed in the blanket. Observations revealed a large hurricane-shaped auroral spot with a near zero flow center and strong circular horizontal plasma flow, all found in cyclones in the lower atmosphere, but instead of raining water, the electrons rained, and the space cyclone moved counterclockwise and lasted about 8 hours before collapsing. Scientists warn such storms could disrupt GPS systems, but they provide details on the effects of weather in space.
Professor Mike Lockwood, a space scientist at the University of Reading in Britain and study participant, said tornadoes could be a worldwide phenomenon on planets and moons with magnetic fields and plasmas. He added: Prior to this discovery, space plasma hurricanes weren’t certain, so proving it with such a remarkable sighting is incredible, as tropical storms are associated with enormous amounts of energy, and these space hurricanes must be created by a large and rapid transfer of solar wind energy and charged particles in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.
Plasma and magnetic fields are found in the atmospheres of planets across the universe. Previous observations have revealed space tornadoes on the planets: Mars, Saturn and Jupiter, similar to hurricanes in the lower atmosphere, as well as solar gas circulating in the depths of the sun’s atmosphere.
