amazing video! very clearly explained! question (if anybody knows): I live in Washington State on the east side, near Idaho. night before last, just after midnight (so, Dec 7th at 12:30ish AM), I was looking for planets, stars and satellites like I do every night. there were some low level clouds and some clouds that's seemed like they might be at a high altitude than the local clouds, but they were in the horizon in essentially all directions. not uncommon. they are usually high level clouds and are about 30° off the horizon. this let's me see the stars and planets above me pretty well. the local clouds were small, low and puffy, so they didn't cause much interference either. I'm saying all this is that the information about the atmospheric conditions can be considered before I ask my question. please bear with me and excuse my lack of brevity. when the clouds are like this, it's easy to see the surrounding populated areas because the sky above them glows a light orange, yellow or reddish color (depending on the source). growing up here, I use those light glows as a quick reference when traveling...."that glow is this town and it's taking up more of the sky, I should be this far out of town"....that kind of thing. night before last, I finished looking at Mars and Uranus (amazing), then drove to my local convenient store. I then noticed a fairly bright indigo colored 'aurora'-ish glow in the sky to the south. it lit up the clouds in the distance and seemed to light up an area about 10-15° horizontally and about 25-30° vertically from the horizon. it was brightest about 10° up, so it wasn't like the usual (and I say usual, because this is still likely the cause) light pollution from the surrounding towns or from downtown. my first thought was "that's cool....the local hotel [which has blue lights along its rooftop fascia] is really lighting up the sky tonight! I've never seen it do that.".....then it hit me that when I looked toward downtown (to the west) was minimal. the glow to the south was a fairly bright pinkish glow and in the middle was a bright indigo glow. you can see the hotel from the convenient store and it didnt appear to be the source. the glow in the sky was indigo...the hotel lights were blue and they arent very bright. we had similar weather last night but.....no glow to the south. I have never been able to see the hotel's glow from my apartment complex as it's a mile and a half away. it's not far away but those lights arent very bright. I've never seen it light the sky up like that from the convenient store, even. is there an atmospheric phenomena that happens in the middle of the night in the northern hemisphere? one that would cause a bright indigo glow in the southern sky? .....was I seeing light pollution and the clouds creating an illusion that made it look like it was far off? it didnt appear to have a source from the ground and it didnt dance in the sky like the northern lights do (which makes me think that it must have been light pollution.....I just cant figure out why it looked like it was the brightest higher off the horizon, as if the light source was atmospheric). any clues as to what I may have seen? I have pictures but I'm not sure how to post that here. I went ahead and ruled out: • Aliens • Government weapons testing • a glowing supernatural.....anything • an indigo colored deity or even a sign from a regular (?) colored deity • all of metaphysical explanations • HAARP .......any ideas?
@@sehrishali9832 I figured it out and while it wasn't close to anything space related, it was still incredibly interesting to me: It was mist likely a phenomenon I didn't know about called Light Pillars (or something similar), which are vertical beans of light that looks like it is above and below the light source (hence why I couldn't ID the source) and is caused by tiny ice particles either suspended in the atmosphere or that make up high altitude clouds. since the source was likely the bright but numerous lights on the hotel, it likely looked more like a blur with spikes (like the northern lights do) instead of pillars of light. Still, it appears to have been ice. it was beautiful and I saw it a few times. they took the lights down from the hotel and they changed the lighting at the hospital, so I haven't seen it anytime recently.
@@sehrishali9832 also, I live in a valley just above a river.....so, the atmospheric conditions near me are different than the rest of the city. the city I live in is in the US, and while I hear this is somewhat rare, in places like Manitoba it's more common. I'm not nearly that far north but it gets cooold here in the winters. Sundogs are rare on most places, I recently found out.... but it will often get well below freezing during the winter, so seeing 'more than one sun' because of the ice in the air isn't uncommon here. it once snowed a bit for about two weeks or so (about an inch at a time, then it would melt, then snow again).....then it got super cold and froze this thin layer of icy snow over the ground. It was so cold that, even though it didn't snow much that year, we went over 100 straight days with 'an inch or more of snow on the ground. .....then (I kid you not) we had a F0 tornado (really, multiple tiny funnel clouds touching down) hit our area the spring after we had an ice storm previous winter (killed our power for two weeks). Then.....the summer and fall comes....and it's fire season. Our volunteer FD was so versed in forest fire fighting that they would travel and teach other departments in other states how to battle wildfires. These men.....were, as kids in high-school, seniors in my freshmen classes. Felt like I had heroes in my tiny school 😄....and, really, they were. I don't know that I've ever saved a life.....so....
THE ZODIACAL LIGHT ?? it was known thousand years ago, and people in Islamic faith, called it the false light !! because of the timing in fajr prayer, is based on observing astronomical twilight (the true light) fajr = morning prayer
The data from the Juno probe recently showed that these are not particles from asteroids and comets but from Mars instead. That's even more fascinating!

So nice to have pleasant, listenable narration and unobtrusive music. A rarity these days.
amazing video! very clearly explained!

thats sooooooo interesting.
i wonder what it really was!!!

THE ZODIACAL LIGHT ?? it was known thousand years ago, and people in Islamic faith, called it the false light !! because of the

fajr = morning prayer
Zodiacal light has always been there, peoples even before muslims must have observed it.
This video is amazing.

Nothing about the Taurid Stream, the last and still baddest remnant of a disintegrating comet that threw us out of the Pleistocene.
So cool!
I agree
U copied
So so so beautifull l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
Such ridiculousness , space dust indeed , twice a year , what balls
And your explanation is?
