By Jude Obuseh Weather phenomena never fail to captivate us with their otherworldly beauty, and light pillars are no exception. These mesmerizing optical illusions often resemble beams of light emanating from extraterrestrial spacecraft, adding a touch of magic to the night sky. 🛸🌠 Typically observed in regions with extremely cold temperatures, such as the Arctic, as well as certain parts of the US and Canada, light pillars create a surreal spectacle that leaves viewers in awe. But what exactly causes this mysterious phenomenon? 🌬️❄️ The magic of light pillars begins when cold air interacts with moisture in the atmosphere, causing it to crystallize into tiny ice particles. These crystals then slowly drift downward, suspended in the frigid air. As they descend, they act as tiny prisms, reflecting and refracting light from nearby sources such as streetlights and stars. ✨❄️ The result is a breathtaking display of thin, vertical columns of light stretching upward into the ni...

By Jude Obuseh The "Giant Blue Eye of the Sahara" refers to a geological formation in the Sahara Desert known as the Richat Structure or the Eye of Africa. Located in Mauritania, this striking circular feature spans approximately 30 miles (50 kilometers) in diameter and is visible from space. From an aerial perspective, the Richat Structure resembles a massive bull's-eye or a circular target, with concentric rings of alternating rock layers creating its distinctive appearance. Despite its name suggesting a blue hue, the structure doesn't appear blue from the ground or in most satellite images; rather, its reddish-brown color blends with the surrounding desert landscape.
