It’s a bird,
it’s a plane,
it’s a ... space
hurricane?
Scientists capture massive ‘storm’ spinning
over Earth for the first time in 2014
BY RICHARD TRIBOU
Orlando Sentinel
ORLANDO, Fla. — While
Florida is no stranger to hurri-
canes at ground level, the Earth
once experienced a 620-mile-
wide “space hurricane.”
That’s what researchers were
calling a phenomenon that
formed over the North Pole in
2014 captured for the first time
by the Defense Meteorologi-
cal Satellite Program. Instead
of wind and rain, though, the
“space hurricane” was whip-
ping around electrons. Made
up of plasma, the vortex spun
counter-clockwise and lasted
about eight hours, according
to the research compiled by
scientists from the University
of Reading and Shandong Uni-
versity in China.
They published their find-
ings in the journal Nature
Communications.
“Here, we report a long-last-
ing space hurricane in the
polar ionosphere and mag-
netosphere during low solar
and otherwise low geomag-
netic activity,” the paper’s ab-
stract reads. “This hurricane

tal plasma flow with shears, a
nearly zero-flow center, and a
coincident cyclone-shaped au-
rora caused by strong electron
precipitation associated with
intense upward magnetic field-
aligned currents.”
The paper said the “space
hurricane” fed large amounts
of energy and momentum into
the ionosphere. Bursts of solar
wind can disrupt the GPS sat-
ellite systems that orbit Earth,
and this phenomenon is an ex-
ample of why scientists moni-
tor space weather.
This marks the first time the
existence of a “space hurricane”
has been found. Researchers
suggest that “space hurricanes”
could be present on other plan-
ets as well across the universe.

The discovery of a “space hurricane” high above Earth might mean that more such storms whirl away at other planetary bodies.
