"Spectacular Solar Tornado Captured in Mesmerizing Space Video"

TL;DR Summary
Astrophotographer Miguel Claro captured a stunning solar tornado in motion above the sun's atmosphere. The tornado, caused by solar magnetic fields twisting in a spiral, was captured in a 4K high-resolution solar movie comprising 290 images over the course of about two hours. The footage shows the evolution of the giant plasma shape, which grew in size during the photo session. The video also captured a possible coronal mass ejection, a stream of charged particles from the sun.
