Mohamed Shawkat Odeh, Director of the International Astronomy Center, said that following the conflicting opinions of experts on the reason for the unusual lighting observed in the Arab region after sunset in the past days, and the unusual colors that decorated the sky in many countries of the world recently, some saw The reason for this phenomenon is normal atmospheric phenomena in the upper atmosphere layers, while others saw that it was caused by fires in the polar regions, and to resolve the issue, the International Astronomy Center has tracked satellite images during the past months for various regions of the world, and shows through the images of general pollution In different areas of the ball Pollution began on June 22, when sudden emissions emerged in a remote area in the sea between Russia and Japan. After examining this place, it turned out to be a Russian island consisting of only a volcano called a volcano. The volcano erupted on June 21 at 6 pm GMT. The most important emissions from volcanic eruptions are ash and sulfur dioxide.
“Given this particular component, we found through satellite imagery that the emissions that looked like a small spot on June 22 were increasing in size until they spread dramatically across the world, and by tracking emissions, we focused on emissions,” Shaukat said. On July 22, a small mass separated from the Great Emission in an area in the North Pacific. On July 30, it entered Chinese territory and continued westward until it entered India on 01 August. Pakistan entered Pakistan. On August 02, and on August 04 entered the logic Arab countries from southern Iraq, Kuwait and northern Saudi Arabia, until the Levant and Egypt arrived the next day on August 05, and this block continues to march west over the Arab countries in Africa, but they have become weaker.
He added: The attached images show the stages of the formation and spread of these emissions, starting from the volcano from the far southeast of Russia until its arrival in the Arab region. The first and second picture shows the location and shape of the volcano. The third picture shows the situation of the globe on June 21 before the eruption, and shows no pollution in various countries of the world, and the fourth picture shows the emergence of emissions on June 22 from the volcano site. The fifth and sixth picture shows how pollution spread across large areas of the globe on July 01 and July 10, respectively. The seventh picture shows the separation of the bloc on July 22, which later reached the Arab region. In the eighth picture, the bloc appears over China on July 30, and in the ninth, its position is above India and Pakistan on August 02. In the tenth image, it entered the Arab region on August 4. The last photo arrives in the Levant and Egypt on 05 August.
Some experts believe that the phenomenon may have been caused by Raikouki volcano emissions. However, it was not possible to resolve the issue by tracking emissions from the moment they were released from the volcano to the Arab region.
