Whoa, caught this insane nacreous cloud show over Provo, Utah tonight! 🌌❄️ These polar stratospheric beauties are iridescent rainbows from tiny ice crystals diffracting sunset light at crazy high altitudes. 😍 #NacreousClouds #UtahSkies #SkyMagic #PolarStratosphericClouds
A sky view with the sun intersecting a strip of clouds creating a rainbow semicircle of cloud.
It's bloody nice out

Sliding in with a late Sunday stunner. Nacreous clouds, sunset, beautiful beach, the Grand Hotel Scarborough. Stunners all.

Mother of pearl like clouds and other backlit, highly defined clouds above a hillside
#nacreousclouds in the top right maybe? I don’t know if it was just a lens effect. This was on a chilly day in April so it’s possible.

On Jan 12, 2025, rare nacreous clouds, also known as mother-of-pearl clouds, graced the skies over northern Sweden. These stunning clouds form in the polar stratosphere, where ice crystals form in extremely cold conditions.

Pink and blue sky with some very dark clouds above in a frozen lake. We can see a fir forest on the horizon between the sky and the lake
An incredible sky over a frozen lake near Suvanto in Finland 🇫🇮. Polar stratospheric clouds were just starting to appear during sunrise ☀️.

An iridescent cloud, known as a Nacreous Cloud, looks light blue and pink, shimmering in the sky, the rest of which is streaky cloud, with the lower half lit golden by a low setting sun. In the foreground, a road stretches away, with a single car on the horizon.
Yesterday we were treated to the rare phenomenon of Nacreous clouds

I captured this stunning view of nacreous clouds (pearl clouds) on December 11th but forgot to share it! These rare clouds shimmer in vibrant colors and appear in the polar skies during winter. Nature’s art at its finest! 🌌 not a professional photographer! #NacreousClouds #SkyBeauty
Memories of these stunning nacreous clouds over Portmarnock and the Howth Peninsula on this day last year. Quite rare to see them. The word Nacreous is derived from the old English word “Nacre” which means “mother of Pearl”

A year ago today I was fortunate enough to capture a stunning display of Nacreous clouds (Mother-Of-Pearl)

A polar stratospheric cloud, iridescent, above a house in the pre-dawn glow of a northern Swedish winter morning.
Everyone in Umeå took a photo of this polar stratospheric cloud this morning. Here it is near my house. I've seen photos of the cloud from every angle and every neighborhood in Umeå today! I like the house and rising sun giving context to the image here.

The rainbow hues of polar stratospheric clouds, also known as nacreous clouds. They look like oil on water and are considered the most beautiful type of clouds.
I see on spaceweather.com that they are reporting polar stratospheric clouds season is about the begin. It would be amazing to get another display like we had on 21 December 2023. The incredible display was seen from much of the UK and lasted all day. #NacreousClouds #Weather
Nacreous clouds seen over Lincoln 21st December 2023
Solstice surprise over Lincoln - Winter Solstice 2023 😍
#Nacreousclouds are rare and very high clouds, known mainly for the coloured light they reflect before sunrise and after sunset.

Well this rainbow cloud was a joy to see over the North York Moors this evening.
A pearly peach of a nacreous cloud.
