Scientists have deciphered the phenomenon of

Scientists finally solved the mystery surrounding the "white night" phenomenon.

According to Science World Report, "white night" is a rare phenomenon - at that time even at night, the light is still enough for you to read a book like day. Abnormal glow in the sky after dark is a problem that scientists have been struggling to find answers in the past.

On the nights when the phenomenon of "white night" occurs, people are easy to recognize this light.(Illustration).

According to the Deccan Chronicle, researchers initially thought that waves converge above Earth's atmosphere , which can amplify natural light in the air (usually blue) thanks to the movement of oxygen atoms in the atmosphere. This glow is usually unnoticeable. However, on the night when the phenomenon of "white night" , people are easy to recognize this light.

Researchers from York University in Canada compared the data gathered about the mutation of sunlight with atmospheric waves. As a result, they found the link between these two factors. Although "white nights" are less likely to occur today due to air pollution, they still exist. The light in the air emitted from chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere (in different colors) is often thought to be the cause of this phenomenon. Green in the air is seen when the oxygen molecules are separated by the Sun again linked together.

Data collected by the researchers show that the "white nights" often occur once a year at a location (usually in places where there is little air pollution). However, it is important to note that the "white night" occurs at a time when there is no moon, so we can see the difference.

What is the important thing that scientists achieve through this research? It is the phenomenon of "white night" that can interfere with astronomers in observing objects in the universe . For us, simply enjoy this amazing phenomenon of nature.
