In a shocking video, which is now going viral on social media, the sky turns red in Australia, which scared the residents of the western side of the country.
مغربی آسٹریلیا میں ایک طاقتور سائیکلون کے باعث وسیع پیمانے پر گرد و غبار کے بادل اندرونِ ملک کی طرف بڑھ گئے، جس سے پورے کے پورے شہر سرخ دھند میں ڈوب گئے اور آسمان خون کی طرح سرخ اور نارنجی ہو گیا۔

The sky turned apocalyptic, looking like a movie scene, due to Tropical Cyclone Narelle.
According to reports, the dust in Western Australia is particularly high in iron oxide, or hematite, which is a chemical compound of iron and oxygen that naturally reflects red light.
These large particles act as a filter, blocking shorter blue and green wavelengths while allowing the longer red wavelengths to pass through. This created a vivid crimson effect similar to the atmospheric conditions seen on Mars.
Tropical Cyclone Narelle became the first storm system in over 20 years to make landfall in three of Australia’s states and territories.
The last storms to have made landfall in three Australian states and territories were Cyclone Ingrid in 2005 and Cyclone Steve in 2000.
Such cyclones have been historically rare, but when they do occur, they tend to take a looping trajectory across Australia similar to Narelle’s path, says Dr Milton Speer, a fellow at the University of Technology Sydney and former Bureau of Meteorology forecaster, according to news reports.
