Scientists have unraveled the nature of the celestial anomaly that occurred 1400 years ago over Japan

In the Japanese chronicle of "Nihonshoki" is the phenomenon of red "pheasant tail", which meant, most likely, the Aurora. It arose over Japan 1400 years ago.

The results of their study presented Ryuho Kataoka, the man working at the National Institute of polar research. Ancient sources say that on December 30 620 years over the territory formed a strange phenomenon "pheasant tail". Then people decided that there was coming something bad.

Scientists today are trying to solve, could then the events must be caused by lights or comet. Kataoka noted that the Aurora in most cases, green, but they are red.

Experts compared the follow-up of the Japanese, coming to the conclusion that they all correspond to the "tail phase". The Aurora appeared in the form of a fan, and therefore have been compared with bird's tail.

Other evidence related to the magnetic latitude of Japan in 620. As it turned out, she was 33 degrees, and today – 25. Thus, the Japanese could see an exciting glow.
