Scientists Are Stunned , as a Piece of the Sun Breaks Off.<br />'New York Post' reports that scientists <br />were recently baffled after watching <br />material break off of the Sun's surface. .<br />The remarkable phenomenon, which created a tornado-like <br />swirl around the Sun's northern pole, was captured <br />by NASA on the James Webb Space Telescope.<br />Material from a northern prominence <br />just broke away from the main filament <br />& is now circulating in a massive polar <br />vortex around the north pole of our Star, Dr. Tamitha Skov, space weather forecaster, via Twitter.<br />Material from a northern prominence <br />just broke away from the main filament <br />& is now circulating in a massive polar <br />vortex around the north pole of our Star, Dr. Tamitha Skov, space weather forecaster, via Twitter.<br />'New York Post' reports that a prominence <br />is a large, bright feature that extends <br />out from the surface of the Sun. .<br />According to Scott McIntosh, the deputy director at <br />the National Center for Atmospheric Research, <br />researchers do not know the cause of the unique event.<br />Once every solar cycle, it forms <br />at the 55-degree latitude and it <br />starts to march up to the solar poles. <br />It’s very curious. There is a big<br />‘why’ question around it. , Scott McIntosh, deputy director at the National Center <br />for Atmospheric Research, via 'New York Post'.<br />Why does it only move toward the pole <br />one time and then disappear and then come <br />back, magically, three or four years later<br />in exactly the same region?, Scott McIntosh, deputy director at the National Center <br />for Atmospheric Research, via 'New York Post'.<br />'New York Post' reports that some <br />experts suggest it has something <br />to do with the Sun's magnetic field.<br />Solar projections can disrupt <br />GPS systems, power grids <br />and even radio signals.<br />According to Space.com, the Sun has already shot multiple <br />"powerful" flares at the Earth this month as it approaches <br />peak activity for its current 11-year cycle in 2025
