The solar filament separation has been observed for the first time
Video footage filmed by the US space agency "NASA" showed the moments of separation of giant filaments of the sun's mass near the North Pole, which was something that had not been observed before and puzzled scientists.
And the video was monitored by “NASA”, part of the sun’s plasma, which is an electrified and hot ionic gas, moved away from the mass of this star, then this part rotates in a huge polar vortex, before heading to the north pole in the sun. This raises scientists' confusion, and they speculate that this movement is related to the recoil of the sun's magnetic field, and it occurs once per solar cycle.
The weather expert, Tamita Skoff, published the video on her verified Twitter account, and said that it came from the NASA Dynamics Observatory. And she wrote that the talk is about a polar vortex, referring to the separation of materials from the northern part of the sun before it rotates in a polar vortex.
NASA describes solar filaments as clouds full of charged particles that float above the sun, but do not move away from it due to magnetic force. These filaments appear in extended and irregular shapes that emanate from the surface of the sun.
In explaining this phenomenon, solar physicist Scott Mackintosh told the scientific site "Space": "Once each solar cycle occurs, (ionic filaments) are formed at latitude 55 and begin to move towards the polar regions." And he considered the matter "intriguing," pointing out that there is a great "why" that is being raised around it, what is the reason for its movement towards the polar region, then its disappearance and its return after 3 or 4 years.
