The space hurricanes rained electrons instead of rainwater.\u00a0 Over the years, scientists claimed the existence of space hurricanes and for the first time caught a glimpse of the\u00a0 spectacle that they believe is around all the planets<\/p>\n
The research team led by Shandong University in China made the announcement after analyzing a 621-mile wide swirling mass of plasma spotted hundreds of miles above the North Pole, reported the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
According to reports, researchers surveyed a large cyclone-shaped auroral spot with a nearly zero-flow center and strong circular horizontal plasma flow and shears, all of which are found in hurricanes in the lower atmosphere. The space hurricanes rained electrons instead of raining water. The space hurricane moved in an anticlockwise direction much like earthbound hurricanes in the northern hemisphere and lasted for nearly eight hours until it ultimately broke down.<\/p>\n
Professor Mike Lockwood, Space Scientist at the University of Reading told the Daily Mail that hurricanes could be a universal phenomenon on planets and moons with magnetic fields and plasma. He said that until now it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes existed but the observation is incredible. Previous observations have found space hurricanes on Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter which are similar to hurricanes in the lower atmosphere. The latest discovery is the first time a hurricane has been observed in Earth’s upper atmosphere.<\/p>\n
A space hurricane<\/a> is a massive, funnel-like, spiral geomagnetic storm that occurs above the polar ionosphere of Earth, during extremely quiet conditions. They are related to the aurora borealis phenomenon, as the electron precipitation from the storm’s funnel produces gigantic, cyclone-shaped auroras.\u00a0 Scientists believe that they occur in the polar regions of planets with magnetic fields.<\/p>\n You might also want to read https:\/\/www.hamslive.com\/news\/2021\/08\/03\/islam-and-science-for-starters\/<\/a><\/p>\n
