#noctilucentclouds

Gang, I saw noctilucent clouds while I was walking home from the supermarket! Hours ago. I tried to tell people to look at the clouds, but all the men ignored me. The one person I got to look at the sky was a young woman who was humoring me at first, but her voice changed when she realized how cool the clouds actually were. One convert is better than none! #NoctilucentClouds #GoOutsideAndLookUp #CloudPorn #clouds

Last night, there was a fine display of noctilucent clouds (NLC), seen here from Wedemark, north of Hannover, Germany. NLC are highest clouds on our beautiful home planet. They are at a height of about 82 km, almost at the edge of space, and consist of tiny ice crystals. They can only be seen during our summer months, around midnight, toward the northern horizon. And if you ask me, they are just beautiful. We may see them again in the coming weeks. #NoctilucentClouds #NLC #Photography #Nature
