説明

This is the spectacular moment a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket created a dazzling blue spiral over Croatia.
The rocket was launched for the NROL-69 mission, carrying a US satellite into low Earth orbit over Plaski on March 24.
Footage shows the distinct vortex formation hovering in the air, leaving onlookers in awe.
Stunned residents watched as the glowing whirl lit up the night sky, sparking curiosity and speculation, with some even mistaking it for a UFO.
The blue spiral also appeared in the night sky over France the same day following the rocket launch.
Similar patterns were also observed during the Transporter-10 mission over Norway in March last year.
Experts believe the phenomenon is linked to a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch, as similar spirals have been observed worldwide following such missions.
These luminous formations are typically caused by the rocket's reaction control system (RCS), which uses small thrusters to adjust the spacecraft's orientation. During this process, excess propellant is sometimes released, creating the distinctive glowing patterns in the atmosphere.
Since its founding in 2002, SpaceX has regularly produced such mesmerizing displays as it continues to push the boundaries of space exploration.
Elon Musk, an entrepreneur and business magnate, founded SpaceX in 2002. The private aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company is dedicated to revolutionising space travel and making humanity a multiplanetary species.
SpaceX has achieved numerous milestones, including launching the first privately funded spacecraft to reach orbit, the first to dock with the ISS, and the first to send astronauts into space from American soil since the Space Shuttle programme.
