Astronomers have known for some time that X-shaped crestlike formations can appear in the ionosphere’s plasma after solar storms.
Volcanic events and extreme weather on Earth can also cause the phenomenon.
NASA 's GOLD mission has a bird's-eye view of the atmospheric layer over the Western Hemisphere from space.
GOLD observed C-shaped plasma bubbles unusually close together, only about 400 miles ( 644 kilometers ) apart.
Computer models point to changes in the lower atmosphere pulling plasma downward as a possible explanation.
Scientists never expected to see such oppositely structured bubbles so close together.
Tornado-like activity, wind shear or a vortex could be creating turbulence in the atmosphere.
During solar storms, a GPS signal hits a fog’ of charged particles and can be lost.
And machines can’t know precisely where they are thanks to this interference.
Pending studies of GOLD data during the May 10 geomagnetic storm could help astronomers in the development of a space weather forecasting system, Laskar says.
