As for comments about the wind, my take on it is that most of the observed spirals (white and blue) are above the atmosphere. Only the lowest part of the blue spiral is in the atmosphere. Because the white spiral is out of the atmosphere, inertia of the exhaust causes the "black hole" when the rocket shuts off. If this were in the atmosphere the exhaust would only travel a short distance and then hang around. The big white spiral could have never formed in the atmosphere. |

If you look at all of the available pictures you will see that it spreads and diffuses gradually. There is no air movement above Earth's atmosphere, so that does not apply to the comments I made. The illumination comes from the sun which is just below the horizon. You can see the red light of dawn in some of the pictures.
