Space storm saw in the Earth's upper climate

A team of international scientists has reported in a study that a space hurricane has been identified for the first time on Earth's upper atmosphere that is full of electron rain. The hurricanes we are familiar with are located in the lower atmosphere of the earth which creates low pressure on the sea surface and which collects the surrounding air and leads to heavy rainfall. Hurricanes have been observed in the lower atmosphere of our neighboring planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, on the other hand, similar events have been observed in the so-called solar tornado and even the surface of the sun. However, such a rotating mass has never been detected in the upper atmosphere of a planet before.
In August 2014, four satellites were recorded in a space hurricane above the North Pole during the U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, which was several hundred kilometers above the ionosphere. However, it was only published in data by a recent previous analysis led by researchers at Shandong University in China.

In 2014, some scientists noticed a strange rotating vortex on the North Pole. An unusual spiral shape of an auroral light flickering in the sky for eight hours before the night fades is measured to be 600 miles wide. But until recently, scientists were trying to explain what this giant patch of light was and why it was there.
Now physicists at Shandong University in China are trying to shed some light on the situation. Scientist King He Zhang collected some information via satellite and explained that the mysterious space hurricane is a large spiral of gas with an electric charge. Space cyclones seen in 2014 are made up of fountains of electrons emitted from the sun, and tiny particles cascade through the Earth's magnetic fields after hitting a gas atom in the upper atmosphere and producing bright flashes of light. Scientist Zhang and his team believe that there was a hurricane in space before 2014, but scientists first identified it.
