An astrophotographer in Sichuan , China , captured a strange blue light being emitted during an avalanche.

Shengyu Li set up the timelapse on October 27 , when a block of ice broke free from the mountain and sparked a small avalanche.

The phenomenon was also captured just a few weeks earlier on October 3 on Muztagh Ata , by Lu Miao .
