"Scientists said last week they observed a previously unknown phenomenon — a 620-mile-wide swirling mass of plasma that roiled for hours in Earth's upper atmosphere, raining electrons instead of water. The researchers labeled the disturbance a space hurricane"

That's a highly misleading meme. It certainly seems to imply that the "space hurricane" came through a week ago. In fact, it was 7 years ago. The "hurricane" came through, and it took 7 years to realize it. That maybe is an important scientific discovery, but it was hardly a serious "storm".
