post shares striking video footage of a blood-red sky over Caracas, Venezuela, attributing it to dust, sand, and microscopic particles stirred up days after deadly earthquakes.
Twin magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes struck on June 24, 2026, killing over 1,900 people, injuring thousands, and causing widespread destruction in Caracas and surrounding areas.
Scientists link the eerie crimson sunset to the "candilazo" atmospheric phenomenon, where high levels of dust particles scatter sunlight, creating the intense red glow.

Visegrad24's post shows a video of a blood-red appearance in the skies over Caracas a few days after the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes on June 24, 2026, attributing it to dust and microscopic particles from the earthquakes. The earthquakes caused over 1,943 deaths, more than 10,000 injuries, and the destruction of thousands of buildings in Venezuela; the red sky event has been confirmed by Al Jazeera and other sources. Scientists explain this as the 'candilazo' phenomenon; dust and sand particles in the atmosphere turn the light red at sunset, creating a dramatic sight.
