What if the skies opened up—not with clear drops of water, but with rain the color of blood? Red rain, also known as blood rain, is one of nature’s most mysterious and eerie spectacles. Though rare, it has been documented across history, from ancient Europe to modern-day India, Sri Lanka, and even Iran. But what exactly causes this crimson downpour?

In this episode of Info On The Go, we dive into the strange science and history of red rain. We’ll explore how microscopic algae can paint the skies, how desert dust and volcanic ash can turn storms into rust-colored showers, and why some scientists have even looked to space for answers—linking the phenomenon to cometary debris or possible extraterrestrial microbes. From Kerala’s famous 2001 red rain to more recent cases in Sri Lanka and Iran, we uncover the facts, the debates, and the ongoing mysteries surrounding this striking natural event.

Is it algae? Is it dust? Or could it be something far more otherworldly? The jury is still out—so grab your umbrella, and let’s find out.
