In this video, we investigate the baffling mechanism behind this rare luminous event. How can the movement of tectonic plates deep below ignite the sky above? Could these ethereal flashes be a warning sign? ▀▀▀▀▀▀ 0:00 Earthquake Lights 5:07 First Sightings 13:11 Caught on CCTV 16:47 Why Does It Happen? 30:34 Can They Predict Earthquakes? ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Subscribe to the channel! / @astrumearth Support our Patreon and you’ll get early access to Astrum Earth content, before anyone else: https://bit.ly/4aiJZNF ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Check out the other Astrum channels for videos about space and astronomy: Astrum: / @astrumspace Astrum Extra: / @astrumextra Astrum Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jPRrbq...
