The first-ever ‘space hurricane’ has been spotted above Earth You are… like a space hurricane… Hurricanes form when warm, wet air over oceans rise, creating a low-pressure system over thewater. Air rushes in to fill the low-pressure region, resulting in high winds and clouds, which often results in heavy rains. “A hurricane is clearly associated with strong energy and mass transportation, so a hurricane in Earth’s upper atmosphere must be violent and efficiently transfer solar wind/magnetosphere energy and momentum into the Earth’s ionosphere,” researchers describe in an article published inNature Communications....
