On the evening of March 24, 2025, skywatchers across Europe were treated to a rare and mesmerizing sight — a glowing spiral of light slowly rotating across the night sky. From Scandinavia to Central Europe, the mysterious spiral left viewers in awe and sparked waves of fascination and speculation online.
What Was Behind the Light Spiral?
According to reports from scientists, the spiral was likely caused by a rocket launch, most probably by SpaceX. As the upper stage of the rocket released excess fuel or rotated in the high atmosphere, it created the visible spiral shape. Sunlight reflecting off the particles at high altitude made the spiral shine brightly against the darkening sky, long after sunset.
