The launching in 2010 of the space telescope SDO (Solar Dynamic Observatory) has been sending us during those two years some of the most incredible images of our star. Thanks to this telescope nearly every day we assist a new facet of the Sun.
The latest images of SDO of the space have discovered an enormous tornado, of our planet’s size, that is moving in the solar surface at the speed of more than 300.000 km an hour.
The images of 30 hours describe a “fire tornado” made of plasma that is going round in the solar corone at incredible speed.
This tornado is not made for the same causes that Earth tornados are made for. In our planet, the tornados are made because of fluctuations of temperature and preassure in the atmosphere, but the cause of this giant solar tornado is because of the magnetic forces of the star.
