6 Mysterious Natural Phenomena That Science Still Can’t Fully Explain

The Morning Glory – Australia’s Rollercoaster Cloud

In a remote part of northern Australia, a mysterious cloud rolls across the sky like a giant, silent wave. It can stretch up to 1,000 kilometres long and move at speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour. The Morning Glory is so predictable that glider pilots actually surf it. Scientists believe it forms when two wind systems collide over the Gulf of Carpentaria, creating a massive “hydraulic jump” in the atmosphere. But why it happens so consistently and only in this one spot? That part remains a mystery.
