Space ‘Hurricane’

An international team of scientists analyzed 3D satellite data from 2014 and found a cyclone of plasma swirling above the polar ionosphere and magnetosphere that resembled a hurricane at the surface. But the 650-mile-wide feature, hundreds of miles above the North Pole, rained electrons rather than water.
