Scientists Are Stunned , as a Piece of the Sun Breaks Off.
'New York Post' reports that scientists
were recently baffled after watching
material break off of the Sun's surface. .
The remarkable phenomenon, which created a tornado-like
swirl around the Sun's northern pole, was captured
by NASA on the James Webb Space Telescope.
Material from a northern prominence
just broke away from the main filament
& is now circulating in a massive polar
vortex around the north pole of our Star, Dr. Tamitha Skov, space weather forecaster, via Twitter.

'New York Post' reports that a prominence
is a large, bright feature that extends
out from the surface of the Sun. .
According to Scott McIntosh, the deputy director at
the National Center for Atmospheric Research,
researchers do not know the cause of the unique event.
Once every solar cycle, it forms
at the 55-degree latitude and it
starts to march up to the solar poles.
It’s very curious. There is a big
‘why’ question around it. , Scott McIntosh, deputy director at the National Center
for Atmospheric Research, via 'New York Post'.
Why does it only move toward the pole
one time and then disappear and then come
back, magically, three or four years later
in exactly the same region?, Scott McIntosh, deputy director at the National Center
for Atmospheric Research, via 'New York Post'.
'New York Post' reports that some
experts suggest it has something
to do with the Sun's magnetic field.
Solar projections can disrupt
GPS systems, power grids
and even radio signals.
According to Space.com, the Sun has already shot multiple
"powerful" flares at the Earth this month as it approaches
peak activity for its current 11-year cycle in 2025
