Scientists have confirmed that a space hurricane is hovering high above the North Pole, they told the Daily Mail. Scientists are for the first time getting a glimpse of a phenomenon they believe surrounds all the planets. The research team led by Shandong University in China after examining a 621-mile-wide plasma mass seen hundreds of miles above the North Pole, the Daily Mail reported.
There is a space hurricane above the North Pole
According to the Daily Mail, researchers saw a large cyclone-shaped auroral space with an almost zero flow center and strong horizontal plasma flow and shear, all of which are found in hurricanes in the lower atmosphere. The space hurricanes were dripping electricity instead of rain. The space shuttle moved in a counterclockwise direction like terrestrial hurricanes in the northern hemisphere and lasted nearly eight hours until it eventually erupted.
Professor Mike Lockwood, Space Scientist at Reading University told the Daily Mail that hurricanes could be a universal phenomenon on planets and moons with magnetic and plasma fields. He said that so far it was not certain that there were space plasma hurricanes but that the prospect is amazing. Discover previous ideas of space hurricanes on Mars, Saturn and Jupiter that resemble hurricanes in low atmosphere. The latest discovery is the first time a hurricane has been seen in Earth’s upper atmosphere.

According to the study published in Nature, “Hurricanes are associated with strong energy and extreme transport, so hurricanes in the Earth ‘s upper atmosphere must be violent and solar wind and movement must move to the Earth’ s ionosphere. The researchers explained that space hurricanes open a channel of rapid energy movement from space to the ionosphere and thermosphere.It would help to reveal important details about the effects of space weather such as increased satellite latency, disturbances in space. the high frequency radio communication etc.
