Solar Tornadoes

Can you imagine what it would be like to experience this? These solar twisters were seen by NASA. These "tornadoes" were caught on NASA's high definition video when recording the sun.

"The sun tornado video shows swirling fountains of plasma creeping across the sun during a 30-hour period between Feb. 7 and 8. But unlike tornadoes on Earth, which are wind-driven phenomena, the sun's plasma tornadoes are shaped by the powerful magnetic field of our [sun]" (Space.com).



Can you imagine trying to forecast this? Wow!
