Bright spiral in the sky, even in Sardinia: here's what it is

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket creates a bright spiral in the sky: seen across much of Italy, including Sardinia

24 marzo 2025

On the evening of Monday, March 24, in various locations throughout Italy and also in Sardinia, a particular spiral-shaped luminous trail appeared in the sky. A phenomenon that led many to take photos and record videos, with the inevitable curiosity to understand what it was.

No mystery, no strangeness. It is, most likely, one of the launches of SpaceX's Falcon 9, a rocket from Elon Musk's aerospace company . It took off at 18:48 (Italian time) from Cape Canaveral, in the United States, and performed a fuel purge maneuver in the second stage that created the spiral effect seen in the sky. That is, what also appeared in Sardinia.

The particular phenomenon was visible for a few minutes and generated great curiosity , not only in Sardinia but throughout Italy.
