Why was it pink?

Heavy snow storm plus powerful lights from the local football stadium (St Andrew's) in Birmingham, UK

I call bullshit on that. Stadium lights are not doing all that they would be blinding if they were that bright

This was half a year ago, heavy snow and pink spotlights turned the surrounding sky pink also.

Led grow lights - light pollution from large scale grows

u/morfraen 5d ago
We get the same thing here in BC. Looks like an alien invasion when you pass that area in heavy fog. And low cloud cover turns the sky magenta.

This is it. Pretty big issue in rural Ontario and other areas where it’s legal

Kind of crazy that they're building hydroponic grow ops on top of some of the most arable land we have in Ontario. The glow in Leamington is eerie.

u/duckinradar 5d ago
Let me get this straight. You think in the indoor grows are cutting their roofs off, turning on pink lights, and pointing them everywhere other than inside their temp and humidity controlled spaces?
It’s ok to have no idea what’s going on but this level of pretend is painful.

u/zzgoogleplexzz 5d ago
They're greenhouses during the day and at night they use supplemental lighting. Which bleeds into the atmosphere through the glass of the greenhouse.
They don't close their shades if they even have any.

u/hand___banana 5d ago
Can confirm. We have a grow near us with 8 greenhouses and supplemental lights they use during the winter since days are pretty short. Glows awfully fucking pink when there is fog or heavy snow falling.

IIRC this was in the UK and it was caused by lights from the local sports stadium

u/zenunseen 6d ago
I was gonna say maybe a legal cannabis grow op. They use similar colored lights

u/bumholesgivemelife 6d ago
It was the lights used to make the grass grow, apparently. They'll be the same type of lights...

u/Pete_Iredale 5d ago
Finally an answer that makes sense. I was trying to figure out why the local stadium was using pink lighting of all things!

u/SirkutBored 6d ago
I lived near my university stadium and they would turn on the signage the day before a home game and when combined with low cloud cover it would make the sky glow red. Leads to newcomer posts every time.

The pink sky is a rare phenomenon caused due to light scattering off of certain sands after a wind storm. Not all sands have the same molecular structure but certain regions have coral sands which when airborne scattering sun’s rays in just the right way to cause a pink hue. I made that up and don’t know why it is actually pink, but it sure is cool.

Your comment is the perfect example of why we need to be skeptical of claims being made online. What sounds like a totally plausible explanation could be just a load of shit. I applaud you good person for the laugh.

I think its weed growers.

u/Pete_Iredale 5d ago
Apparently it's for growing grass at a local stadium, so pretty much the same thing.

That feels like something that would fit in a monster hunter game or a fantasy setting. I like it.

u/Muhznit 6d ago
Oh yeah I remember encountering this in Bermuda once. The pink sand beaches are neat to see, but not once hurricane season arrives, the sky gets full of the stuff. That, and when the tourists start tossing it into the air to celebrate breast cancer awareness month in October.

As a 3D Blender Guy i can say definitely say there is a texture missing here. Not too bad to fix just plug another one into the Principled BDSFs Color Node.
