Some great pics. I've seen these, but never knew about the phenomena nor the cause. I'll be on the lookout the next few weeks.

Noctilucent Cloud.......

Sounds like a name that Elizabeth Warren would want before she became Pocahontus?

Or maybe the name of a woman in Australia?

[BuffaloJack]

I’ll have to add it to my list.
I already crossed Northern Lights off the list about 2 years ago when I saw them very early in the morning about 90 minutes before sunrise.

I accept the figures in the article, but am bound to say, those clouds don’t LOOK to be 50 miles high. They look to be at about 10,000 feet in the photos. Very curious. Thanks for posting. Does anyone else have an opinion?

[Darksheare]

Noctilucent clouds are seeded by meteoroid smoke and have nothing to do with “climate”.

[Bob434]

the reason they are blue is simply because they are taken during the ‘blue hour’ (the time of night where it’s about too dark for the eye to see- but plenty light for the camera to see light)
