Though old and originally shared by an Instagram user Elham Gholami, the video again piqued people’s attention after being shared on Twitter.

Trumboo, in the post’s caption, also detailed the reason behind this unusual occurrence. He wrote that the red colour of the soil is because of presence of “red oxide” and is called “Gelack.” He then added that it’s a “very valuable mineral for industrial purposes and the locals use it as a spice in their cuisine.”

Take a look at the video and prepare to be amazed:

Since being shared, the post attracted tons of comments from people. While some were surprised, others couldn’t stop commenting on its beauty.

“It looks like, ‘Galaxy at feet,’” wrote a Twitter user. “Wow! It is so beautiful,” commented another.
