00:00Welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening Rama. Today is Tuesday.
00:041-9-1-29-26, 1-September-26, 20-26-19, Rabia al-Awwal.
00:12Honestly, strange phenomena and mysterious events keep appearing and happening in many places around the world.
00:21We've seen one of these strange phenomena.
00:24It's the sky changing into strange colors.
00:27Usually the sky is blue, or at least that's how we see it.
00:33And when the blue of the sky or the darkness of the sky at night turns into other colors that
00:40we are not used to,
00:44like the red color we witnessed before many disasters and before devastating earthquakes happened,
00:52for example, before the devastating Venezuela earthquake and also after the devastating Venezuela earthquake,
01:01the sky suddenly turned red.
01:03And this was accompanied by many questions.
01:08The sky has turned into another color in the past few hours, a pink color completely pink.
01:20Specifically, the sky turned pink in China, particularly in the sky over Changzhou City in Jiangsu Province.
01:30Just like you're about to see on your screen now.
01:35The sky was a pinkish-red color in a stunning scene.
01:40And it's extremely rare for something like this to happen.
01:45Just minutes after this strange color appeared in the sky, it turned pink.
01:53Very heavy thunderstorms and rain started to hit, causing floods in this province.
02:00We know that very heavy rain and violent storms always happen.
02:07When I tell you, when the sky turns green, or more specifically, when the clouds turn green,
02:14I tell you, run for your lives, escape.
02:18Because indeed, the green supercell clouds are very dangerous.
02:23We've come to know that they bring disaster with them.
02:27But what's new to us is the pink color of the sky.
02:30And after that, there are also severe storms.
02:34But what many people are wondering now is,
02:37what's causing these strange colors that have started appearing in the sky?
02:42Scientists have started to analyze this issue and say there's no need to be afraid.
02:48This is called relay scattering.
02:50What is relay scattering?
02:51And what is this physical phenomenon?
02:54Should I explain?
02:54He simply says that during storms, sunlight passes through a thicker layer of the atmosphere.
03:02A thicker layer of the atmosphere because there are many clouds.
03:07And he explains.
03:10And he says that when sunlight passes through this thick layer of the atmosphere,
03:15a phenomenon called relay scattering occurs.
03:20Where the green and blue light, which have shorter wavelengths, get scattered.
03:26But the other wavelengths, like red and pink, do not get scattered.
03:31Because their wavelengths are longer, so they don't scatter.
03:38So these are the ones that appear in the sky.
03:42That's what scientists say.
03:44And they say the reason is the physical phenomenon known as relay scattering.
03:51But is relay scattering really the reason?
03:57Or is there something else to the story?
04:00Or are there reasons we don't know about?
04:02At least not yet.
04:03By the way, let me remind you, I'm Ahmad al-Dira.
