This is not a common occurance nor does this happen every night when the volcanos do spew gasses into the stratosphere. Ive been watching the sunsets in my area and have seen the purple colors. Quite spectacular. More information is on the link as well as a couple of photos of sunsets. Sky watchers are reporting a strange color in the sunset sky: purple. This is a sign of volcanic activity. The Raikoke volcano in the Kirul Islands and the Ulawun volcano in New Guinea have recently spewed sulfurous gases into the stratosphere, altering the palette of sunsets around the world. https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2019/08/27/why-are-sunsets-turning-purple/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had some volcanic activity in South America and on some islands in the very southern Atlantic.. The clouds went around the world and where over Australia.. We often have yellowish Red sunsets, usually when we are having a dry period.. That's when a the winds kick up a lot of dust in central Australia and you have a lot of dust in the atmosphere.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
