‘Space hurricane’ seen hovering above Earth for the first time ever
(Worthy News) – As if humanity didn’t have enough weather phenomena to worry about, scientists have discovered a “space hurricane” that occurred over the Earth’s upper atmosphere for the first time.
“Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible,” Mike Lockwood, space scientist at the University of Reading, said in a release.
Not only do space hurricanes exist, but researchers suspect they could be more relatively common within the solar system and beyond. This one, however, occurred back in August 2014, but the observations recorded by satellites were only uncovered recently. With the new findings, scientists were able to create a 3-D image of the 1,000 km-wide swirling mass of plasma that rained electrons instead of water several hundred kilometers above the North Pole.
