A mesmerising glowing spiral lit up the night sky over the UK and parts of Europe, leaving skywatchers stunned at around 8 PM on March 24. The rare phenomenon, seen across multiple countries, including Germany, France, and Denmark, is believed to have been caused by frozen fuel released from SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. The reusable rocket, which launched from Florida on a classified US government mission, expelled leftover fuel while returning to Earth, creating the dazzling display. The frozen fuel particles reflected sunlight, forming a bright spiral that lasted for minutes before fading, as seen in the video shared on X (formerly Twitter). Astronomers confirmed similar sightings in the past, though such events remain rare. SpaceX acknowledged the launch, but the breathtaking celestial display was an unintended spectacle. Northern Lights Pics: Strong Solar Storm Produces Brilliant Display of Aurora Borealis Over UK, Europe and North America, Makes it the Best Time To Watch.
