SPACE JELLY FISH WHAT?! 

The Philippine Space Agency on Sunday sought to address the interest sparked by “lights sighted over parts of the Philippines on the evening of 11 April 2026, at around 7:40 pm.” 

PhilSA said the lights that formed what looked like a jellyfish in the sky were “highly likely due to the passage of the Jielong-3 rocket” launched by China. 

“The phenomenon is commonly called a ‘space jellyfish,’ which occurs when a rocket's exhaust plume, released at high altitudes, is directly illuminated by sunlight while observers on the ground remain in darkness. 

“The expanding plume fans out in the thin upper atmosphere and scatters sunlight, creating a luminous, jellyfish-like glow visible over wide areas during twilight conditions,” the space agency explained.

Today we learned. :)

Cultural presentations, seedlings distribution, and the signing of an environmental care covenant by local government officials were highlights of the opening of the 10th Good Earth Day Festival held at Liwasang Balagtas, Pandacan, Manila. It will run until April 25, 2026, different kinds of bicycles will be raffled off on the last day. 
The officials promised transparent governance and accountability in the use of public funds, mindful of environmental protection and care for human lives.
In March 2015, the Supreme Court handed down its final ruling that, at the threat to lives and property, the Big 3 oil companies should relocate from the densely populated Manila district.
The Good Earth Day Festival is organized by the Samahang Sining at Kultura ng Pilipinas (SSKPil), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting, preserving,
and fostering Philippine arts and culture through educational events and community celebrations.
