With a few plausible changes, noctilucent clouds could become global, and ubiquitous. The net result? White nights of a most alien sort...

Small but rather bright and beautifully structured #NoctilucentCloud display over Bochum, Germany, on 10 July 2025 between 1:15 and 2:00 UTC - so far not two of the major displays this season from here have looked even remotely alike, and this one was perhaps the most attractive. Keep 'em coming ...! More timesteps in https://www.facebook.com/groups/nlcaroundtheworld/posts/1711440259491572/

Is it "Noctilucent cloud" in english? 😀
Again shiny clouds in the middle of the night. Very impressiv to see, hard to capture with camera.

Apparently the northern hemisphere's #NoctilucentCloud season is opening, which was expected around this time of year. If you're near enough to polar latitudes (definitely 50°N+, maybe lower if there's an outbreak), look for them during morning or evening astronomical twilight, reflecting sunlight from 80km/50mi altitude in the direction of the sunset or sunrise. https://social.tchncs.de/@Fettlaus/114616634713194665 #NLC #NLCalert #SpaceWeather

Just as the very first indications of the northern #NoctilucentCloud season are seen (in https://www.facebook.com/groups/120898778545736/posts/1671843040117961 and https://www.facebook.com/LeuchtendeNachtwolken/posts/pfbid024ZrpF9YFz47GgZwzdwCuwHHF8sAjNWcNTogbNoZeme9cKqA6yjDGSbcafCQpm8Hol the relevant data) the new citizen science project https://citsci.org/projects/space-cloud-watch/ is asking for your observations: https://science.nasa.gov/get-involved/citizen-science/space-cloud-watch-needs-your-photos-of-night-shining-clouds/ - it's about the recently seen equatorward extension of the NLC phenomenon and its possible causes.

Did the 2022 Hunga eruption impact the #NoctilucentCloud season in 2023/24 and 2024? https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/25/3635/2025/ -> Volcanoes, Atmosphere and Climate: https://www.uni-greifswald.de/en/university/information/current-news/details/n/volcanoes-atmosphere-and-climate-236983/

Oh yay! It's that time of year again. First sighting of noctilucent clouds this season.
Nice electric blue glow, always beautiful. Shame about the correlation with climate change...#nlc #noctilucentcloud #Perthshire #Scotland #nightsky #clouds #blue

Northern hemisphere #NoctilucentCloud season has begun, so here's a re-share of the video I made telling you what they are + how to see them. My in-depth blog about #NLCs + links to NLC webcams across Europe are in the description box #PolarMesosphericClouds https://youtu.be/Bc2AfzGrACU
