Earth, Jupiter and Magnetic Tornadoes

Jupiter’s Magnetic Tornadoes Unleash Earth-Sized Storms: A Cosmic Weather Phenomenon
In an exciting new discovery, scientists have identified that magnetic tornadoes on Jupiter are creating massive storms the size of Earth. These storms, which manifest as dark ovals in the planet’s atmosphere,
Magnetic Tornadoes Are Creating Earth-Sized Haze Ovals Around Jupiter’s Poles
The Great Red Spot is not the only Earth-sized atmospheric disturbance seen on Jupiter. That dramatic storm remains number one for size and power in the Solar System, but ultraviolet (UV) observations from Hubble have now revealed that Earth-size ovals of haze are being stirred up over Jupiter's polar regions.
Magnetic tornadoes on Jupiter are spawning Earth-size storms
Magnetic vortices twisting down from Jupiter's ionosphere into its deep atmosphere cause giant, ultraviolet-absorbing polar anticyclones, each the size of our Earth.
Jupiter’s Earth-Sized Storms Might Be Caused by Magnetic Tornadoes, Study Claims
New research reveals that Jupiter’s magnetic tornadoes generate massive Earth-sized storms, visible only in ultraviolet light.
Hazed And Confused: Magnetic Tornadoes Are Wreaking Havoc On Jupiter
The dark UV ovals were first spotted by NASA’s Hubble spacecraft in the late 1990s, but have only recently been studied in depth.
Campus researchers discover Jupiter’s dark ovals explained by ‘magnetic tornadoes’
UC Berkeley researchers have discovered that dark ovals at Jupiter’s poles, whose presence was previously unexplained, are caused by “magnetic tornadoes.”
Great Red What? Check out Jupiter’s giant, magnetic tornado
The dark UV ovals were first detected by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope during the late 1990s at the north and south poles. During the Cassini spacecraft’s flyby of Jupiter in 2000, it also confirmed these ovals at Jupiter’s north pole, but the ovals did not get a lot of attention from scientists.
Jupiter’s polar ‘tornadoes’ are stirring up strange, dark spots
Astronomers have discovered mysterious, Earth-sized dark spots at Jupiter’s poles that appear and disappear unpredictably. These spots, only visible in ultraviolet (UV) light, are embedded in a thick haze at the poles and seem to be linked to the planet’s strong magnetic field.
Magnetic Tornado Stirring Up Haze at Jupiter's Poles
While Jupiter’s Great Red Spot has been a constant feature of the planet for centuries, University of California, Berkeley, astronomers have discovered equally large spots at the planet’s
Magnetic Tornadoes Reveal Jupiter’s Darkest Secrets
Scientists have discovered Earth-sized dark UV spots at Jupiter's poles, likely caused by magnetically driven vortices ...

The sun's poles may have powerful magnetic tornadoes
This is why you can think of these solar vortices as sorts of magnetic tornadoes on our star. A phenomenon called "rush to the poles" may help explain the behavior of solar vortices. According to ...

Physicists Spot Quantum Tornadoes Twirling in a ‘Supersolid’
The roughly 50,000 atoms in the gas lose any sense of identity, merging into a single state. Finally, with a twist of the ambient magnetic field, tiny tornadoes swirl into existence, pirouetting ...
