Alaska's Northern Lights Illuminated by Mysterious Blue Spiral.
TL;DR Summary
A light blue spiral resembling a galaxy appeared amid the aurora in Alaska, caused by excess fuel that had been released from a SpaceX rocket that launched from California. The swirl was caught in time-lapse on the Geophysical Institute’s all-sky camera and shared widely. The SpaceX rocket took off from Vandenberg space force base in California Friday night with about 25 satellites on board. It was a polar launch, making it visible over a large swath of Alaska.
