- On January 18, a strangely blue 'whirlpool" was seen in the Hawaiian night skies.
- After a SpaceX navigation satellite launched, a Japanese telescope captured footage.
- According to Science Times, the spiral was most likely caused by SpaceX's rocket fuel.
The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan suggested that a ghostly blue spiral seen in the sky above Hawaii could be linked to a SpaceX satellite rocket launch. This was stated by the Subaru Telescope's tweet earlier this month.
Tweet featured an image of Mauna Kea, Hawaii's Hawaii Island spiral, in January 18.
The Subaru Telescope tweeted that the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera captured an unusual flying spiral above Maunakea (Hawaii), on January 19. "The SpaceX company launched a new satellite. The spiral appears to be connected."
The Science Times reported Saturday that the spiral was most likely caused by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, which launches satellites and cargo into orbit. It also dumps fuel during a descent.
The Washington Post reported that SpaceX launched a satellite to position the global earth for the US Space Force on Jan 18, 2018.
The Subaru Telescope spotted the formation of a spiral fly above the Mauna Kea volcano after the launch. It then dissipated.

After a SpaceX launch, this is not the first time that a spiral was seen in the sky. According to the Washington Post, a spiral similar to that seen in Florida was observed over Queenstown, New Zealand after a June 2022 launch.
