'Space Jellyfish' Lights Dazzle Skywatchers Worldwide
Original: ‘Space Jellyfish’ Dazzle Skywatchers, More Could Be Coming
Striking glowing swirls known as 'space jellyfish' have been spotted by skywatchers, with observers reporting that more such displays could appear in the near future. The phenomenon is typically caused by rocket launches at dawn or dusk, when expelled fuel catches sunlight high in the atmosphere and creates an expanding, jellyfish-like glow visible for hundreds of miles.
Why now: Recent rocket launches have produced dramatic glowing plumes that are widely shared and discussed online.
