Tornadoes in space – Northern Lights mystery solved

Posted on April 26th, 2009 by Tim

At last scientists appear to have sussed how the northern lights phenomenon is created. An article in the Sunday Times today that the sun’s electrical rays that are known to shower the earth gather in a cloud on ‘the dark side’ and are drawn back in by magnetic fields. The clouds are drawn back at a million miles an hour to create tornados in space. Awesome!
