A team of scientists has solved the centuries-old mystery of why the Sun appeared blue nearly 200 years ago. According to researchers from the University of Scotland, the eruption of a massive volcano in 1831 released large amounts of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, causing the Sun to appear blue and leading to an extraordinary drop in temperatures. The scientists verified their findings by studying ice core records and confirmed that the eruption occurred on the remote and uninhabited island of Smoisher, situated in a disputed region between Russia and Japan. The research also revealed that volcanic ash from the eruption was found in ice cores, marking a breakthrough in understanding the event. The scientists have cautioned that another similar volcanic eruption could disrupt life on Earth once again.
