NASA have been left baffled after a piece of the Sun’s surface broke off and created a vortex.

The stunning footage was captured by NASA who caught the moment a tornado-esc swirl was created around its North Pole.

Scientists are now trying to figure out the implications it will have on Earth after a huge filament of solar plasma broke free from the Sun’s surface.

Dr. Tamitha Skov, a space weather forecaster, tweeted the footage which went viral on social media.

She wrote: “Talk about Polar Vortex!

“Material from a northern prominence just broke away from the main filament & is now circulating in a massive polar vortex around the north pole of our Star.

“Implications for understanding the Sun’s atmospheric dynamics above 55° here cannot be overstated!”
