There Is A Spiral Object Flying In Hawaii's Sky. Here's A Fact
JAKARTA - The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) managed to capture the strange appearance of a blue spiral appearing in the night sky of Mauna Kea, in Hawaii recently with its telescope, and not a few thought it was a UFO.
However, it turns out to be far from the word UFO or some kind of alien object, which in fact the phenomenon was caused by frozen rocket fuel released during the launch of SpaceX's mission.
A video from a smooth light show was captured January 18 by the Subaru-Ashani Star Camera telescope jointly owned by NAOJ and Japanese news agency handicraft Shimbun, located aboard Mauna Kea, an inactive volcano on Hawaii's Great Island.
In the accelerated footage, small clumps of light spread out into a vortex of perfect luminous water moving across the sky for several minutes before fading.
"The Spial appears to be linked to the launch of SpaceX's new satellite," NAOJ representatives wrote on Twitter.
The launch of the SpaceX mission in question is the Falcon 9 rocket, which he managed to take off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 7:24 a.m. EST carrying a new Global Task Force (GPS) for the US Space Force.
Launching LiveScience, Monday, January 30, the first stage of the rocket, which provides the main propulsion power to take off, separate from the second stage of the payload carrier about 3 minutes after launch and finally return to Earth.
After separating from the first stage, the second stage used its small machine to push itself into a position to deploy satellites.
Then after the satellite was deployed, the remaining fuel was then released before re-entry, which caused the second phase to enter the round before stopping orbiting and falling into the Earth in the Pacific Ocean.
The result is a spiral-shaped frozen fuel crystal cloud, illuminated by sunlight. This is not a SpaceX rocket arena that causes a display of brilliant light.
In April 2022, the Subaru-Ashani Star Camera telescope captured a sparkling light spiral after SpaceX launched a spy satellite into orbit with another Falcon 9 rocket.
