Part of The Sun Has Broken Off And Formed a Vortex… What The Heck Is Going on?

2/18/2023

This article discusses the recent discovery of a dark vortex appearing on the surface of the Sun, which is believed to be caused by a part of the Sun breaking off. The phenomenon was observed by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and raises questions about the dynamics and behavior of the Sun. The article explains that the vortex is formed due to magnetic forces and plasma activity, and scientists are studying it to understand its implications for solar activity and future space weather predictions. While the exact cause of the vortex is still being investigated, this discovery provides valuable insights into the complex behavior of our closest star.
