600 mile wide ‘Space hurricane’ spotted above Earth for the first time ever | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 80007737 United States 03/04/2021 03:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The space hurricane lasted almost eight hours before it began to break down, according to the researchers, and while it doesn't lead to flooding like hurricanes in the Earth's lower atmosphere, scientists said it could increase satellite drag, cause disturbances in high frequency radio communications and even lead to errors in over-the-horizon radar location, satellite navigation, and communication systems.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79517744 United States 03/04/2021 04:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So here is the news release from the University of Reading SPACE HURRICANE OBSERVED FOR THE FIRST TIME The first observations of a space hurricane have been revealed in Earth’s upper atmosphere, confirming their existence and shedding new light on the relationship between planets and space. The unprecedented observations, made by satellites in August 2014, were only uncovered during retrospective analysis by scientists at the University of Reading, as part of a team led by Shandong University in China, that confirmed the hurricane and offered clues about its formation. This analysis has now allowed a 3D image to be created of the 1,000km-wide swirling mass of plasma several hundred kilometres above the North Pole, raining electrons instead of water, and in many ways resembling the hurricanes we are familiar with in the Earth’s lower atmosphere. Professor Mike Lockwood, space scientist at the University of Reading, said: “Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible”. “Tropical storms are associated with huge amounts of energy, and these space hurricanes must be created by unusually large and rapid transfer of solar wind energy and charged particles into the Earth’s upper atmosphere. “Plasma and magnetic fields in the atmosphere of planets exist throughout the universe, so the findings suggest space hurricanes should be a widespread phenomena.” Hurricanes occur in Earth’s lower atmosphere over warm bodies of water. When warm, moist air rises, it creates an area of low pressure near the surface that sucks in the surrounding air, causing extremely strong winds and creating clouds that lead to heavy rain. Hurricanes have also been observed in the lower atmospheres of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, while enormous solar tornadoes have been seen in the atmosphere of the Sun. However, the existence of space hurricanes in the upper atmosphere of planets has not been detected before. The space hurricane analysed by the team in Earth’s ionosphere was spinning in an anticlockwise direction, had multiple spiral arms, and lasted almost eight hours before gradually breaking down. The team of scientists from China, the USA, Norway and the UK used observations made by four DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) satellites and a 3D magnetosphere modelling to produce the image. Their findings were published in Nature Communications. [link to www.reading.ac.uk (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 53732614 United States 03/04/2021 04:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A first-ever “space hurricane” was spotted whirling above the Earth, scientists said. Quoting: Feckless Asterix The 600-mile-wide mass of plasma occurred several hundreds of miles above the North Pole, according to a study in the journal Nature Communications. “Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible,” said Mike Lockwood, a space scientist at the University of Reading and co-author of the study, in a statement. The spectacle was captured by satellites in August 2014, but only recently uncovered during research led by scientists from Shandong University in China. The space hurricane “rained” electrons instead of water, had multiple spiral arms and lasted eight hours before gradually fizzing, researchers said. “Tropical storms are associated with huge amounts of energy, and these space hurricanes must be created by unusually large and rapid transfer of solar wind energy and charged particles into the Earth’s upper atmosphere,” Lockwood said.
