Arab Weather - A rare sight in Jordan's skies on Tuesday evening, following the explosion of a high-altitude ballistic missile, saw citizens observe a strange light cloud with shades of pink, purple, and white.
The explosion released large quantities of gases and chemicals from the rocket's fuel, which reacted with sunlight in the upper atmosphere, producing this striking glow. The appearance of the different colors is attributed to the composition of the fuel used, as some compounds emit light in various colors when dispersed at high altitudes.
The following video captures the moment the rocket explodes in the atmosphere:
