In Earth's low atmosphere, hurricanes are destructive due to their great size, strong spiral winds with shears, and intense rain/precipitation. However, disturbances resembling hurricanes have not been detected in Earth's upper atmosphere. Here, we report a long-lasting space hurricane in the polar ionosphere and magnetosphere during low solar and otherwise low geomagnetic activity.

- * Recent research utilized observations and simulations to demonstrate that multiple TPAs are created by energetic magnetospheric electrons interacting with field-aligned current (FAC) sheets.
- * The study enhances understanding of the complex interactions between the solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere during northward IMF conditions, challenging existing models of magnetospheric dynamics.
