Of course, the impressive and paradoxical sight caused a lot of theories (bordering on conspiracy) on the internet.
The images of a blue vortex recorded by a Japanese telescope over Hawaii on January 18 are causing global surprise but even astronomers are wondering.
“The Subaru-Asahi Star camera recorded a mysterious flying spiral over Hawaii’s Mauna Kea volcano,” which “appears to be related to the launch of a new satellite by SpaceX,” experts operating the Subaru telescope wrote on 19 January.
The country’s Astronomical Observatory shared footage on its official YouTube channel, writing that “at first it was just a small dot. He then fired what looked like a bow. She got slightly bigger. A bright dot appeared in the drop and then grew and turned into a spiral.’
Of course, the impressive and paradoxical sight caused a lot of theories (bordering on conspiracy) on the internet.
“It’s a rift in the space-time continuum,” commented a user with plenty of imagination.
The real cause of this mysterious blue swirl in the sky, however, appears to be connected to SpaceX’s latest satellite launch, on January 18 from Florida.
After a rocket is launched into space and becomes a satellite, it will return to earth having first ejected the rocket fuel, which is probably the aforementioned blue spiral since when the rocket fuel is launched, it freezes and crystallizes into a spiral shape and is then illuminated by the sun.
In fact, the phenomenon has been observed several times over the Pacific Ocean.
