What was that mysterious glowing spiral in the sky over Alaska this weekend? A UAF professor has an answer. (via adndotcom)
Photographer Todd Salat made this photograph of a swirl in the sky while photographing the aurora near the Richardson Highway on April 15, 2023 at 1:52 a.m. Alaska time, with light from Delta Junction faintly visible in the distance.
Don Hampton, a research associate professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, said by email Saturday that the spiral “appears to be rocket engine exhaust from a SpaceX Transporter-7 mission that launched on the Falcon 9 about three hours earlier in California.” Hundreds of miles away from Salat, midwife Elizabeth Withnall in the Northwest Arctic community of Kotzebue was also outside in the wee hours of Saturday hoping to catch a glimpse of the northern lights, which were forecast to be bright overnight.
