An object that may be “the tallest tornado” in the solar system was caught by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory as it swirled around the sun’s north pole. Before bursting into a cloud of magnetized gas, the twisting filament of boiling plasma continued to develop in the sun’s atmosphere for three days, reaching a height of around 111,000 miles (178,000 kilometers), or 14 Earths. Material from the sun’s atmosphere was thrown into the surrounding space when the solar storm collapsed.
