A luminous spiral was observed across Europe on March 24, prompting speculation about its origin. The phenomenon, captured in numerous photos and videos, was attributed to a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The rocket, launched from Florida, released excess fuel during its ascent, which then froze into ice crystals. These crystals reflected sunlight, creating the spiral effect. Similar occurrences have been linked to SpaceX launches, with experts explaining that the spiral shape results from the rocket's rotation as it vents fuel in space. The event was visible across several countries, including the UK, Germany, and France.
