IN the NEWS - Space Hurricanes

Will Space Hurricanes Play A Role In The End Time Of Trouble?
 ....and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven....and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

"Hurricanes in the Earth’s low atmosphere are well known; however, disturbances resembling hurricanes had never before been detected in the upper atmosphere.

 “Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible,” said Professor Mike Lockwood.
 “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.”
 
 They detected a 621-mile wide mass of plasma in the northern polar
ionosphere and magnetosphere during low solar and otherwise low geomagnetic activity.
The hurricane was spinning in an anticlockwise direction, had multiple spiral arms, and lasted almost eight hours before gradually breaking down.
 
 “These features indicate that the space hurricane leads to large and rapid deposition of energy and flux into the polar ionosphere during an otherwise extremely quiet geomagnetic condition, suggesting that current geomagnetic activity indicators do not properly represent the dramatic activity within space hurricanes, which are located further poleward than geomagnetic index observatories,” said Professor Qing-He Zhang.
 
Unlike with regular hurricanes that can dump huge amounts of
precipitation over Earth's surface, the scientists instead observed electrons raining into the upper atmosphere.
 
 In addition, the space hurricane will lead to important space weather effects like increased satellite drag, disturbances in High Frequency (HF) radio communications, and increased errors in over-the-horizon radar location, satellite navigation and communication systems." SciNews/NBC
