Scientists are baffled by a solar vortex emerging from the star's northern pole.
“Talk about Polar Vortex! 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,” writes Dr. Tamitha Skov, a space weather physicist.
“It’s very curious. There is a big ‘why’ question around it. Why does it only move toward the pole one time and then disappears and then comes back, magically, three or four years later in exactly the same region?” Filaments tearing away from the Sun is nothing new with scientists regularly observing this type of solar activity, but this is the first time that such a large polar whirlwind has been noticed., the sun’s polar regions play a key role in generating the star’s magnetic field which drives its 11-year cycle of activity. But scientists can’t observe the polar region directly.
