A tornado sun five times larger than Earth


We know from the news of violence and destructiveness that can have a tornado. Now imagine that tornado is five times larger than Earth and is composed of a material as hot as it should shape the worst hell. This phenomenon is real. It occurs on the sun's surface, generated by magnetic emissions. Scientists at the University of Aberystwyth (United Kingdom) were able to film in September 2011 and now they have released. It is overwhelming.
The gigantic new sun become 'unique and spectacular ", according to scientists, was detected by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) , a NASA satellite launched two years ago that is dedicated to studying the behavior of our star. 
"This is perhaps the first time become a huge solar filmed by a camera. Previously, the SOHO satellite had discovered other much smaller, but could not be recorded, "explains the researcher Xing Li, one of the discoverers of the whirlwind. The team believes that the phenomenon is related to the onset of solar storms.
At 300,000 km per hour.Probe detected the super heated gases between 50,000 and 2,000,000 Kelvin spiral and traveling around 200,000 km along helical paths for a period of at least three hours. These solar gases moving at 300,000 kilometers per hour when terrestrial tornadoes can reach 150 kilometers per hour.
Tornadoes often occur in the wake of huge coronal mass ejections. When directed at Earth, these coronal mass ejections can cause significant damage to our satellites and even knock out the power grid. The latest solar storms from 8 to 10 March, which forced to divert flights over the Arctic and affected communications by radio in some parts of the world, poured enough energy into the Earth's upper atmosphere to be able to provide each household a city ​​like New York for two years.
