2023年3月21日 · NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured what might be 'the tallest tornado' in the solar system swirling across the north pole of the sun.

A space tornado is a solar windstorm and is exceptionally larger and more powerful than conventional tornadoes on Earth. [1] [2] They are also thought to produce the aurora borealis phenomenon. [3] Tornadoes on Earth are formed within the atmosphere by thunderstorms, while space tornadoes are formed by plasma interacting with magnetic fields.

2024年11月2日 · Eruptions on the Sun can affect us here on Earth. What is a solar storm? How does a solar storm affect us? When directed toward Earth, a solar storm can create a major disturbance in Earth’s magnetic field, called a geomagnetic storm, that can produce effects such as radio blackouts, power outages, and beautiful auroras.

2023年3月23日 · An enormous "solar tornado" the size of 14 Earths stacked on top of each other recently raged on the sun's surface for three whole days. The enormous plasma twister may be one of the largest...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a massive 'tornado' on the sun in multiple wavelengths from March 15-18, 2023. Unlike the Earth, "tornadoes on the sun are controlled by magnetism,"...

5 天之前 · It could be because of its unique configuration or be tied to the increased number of solar storms during solar maximum — the most active phase of the sun's roughly 11-year solar cycle, which ...

2025年2月6日 · The findings are important to understanding how future solar storms could impact our technology. The new belts formed between two others that permanently surround Earth called the Van Allen Belts. Shaped like concentric rings high above Earth’s equator, these permanent belts are composed of a mix of high-energy electrons and protons that are ...

2023年3月20日 · Solar tornadoes, also known as solar prominences, are enormous windstorms of plasma formed from the solar atmosphere. While on Earth, tornados result from twisting air currents,...

2023年3月23日 · NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a video of a tornado churning on the sun. The fiery formation of boiling solar plasma grew to an estimated height of 14 Earths. It began forming on...

2025年2月7日 · The solar storm disturbed CIRBE’s orbit, and scientists consequently de-orbited it in October of last year. RIP CIRBE, and thank you for your sacrifice. Magnetic Field NASA satellites solar storms
