In #China in the region of #Yunnan, #IridescentClouds .. or #PolarStratosphericClouds I predicted would increase in 2019, made of #IceCrystals in the atmosphere cause a sky of all kinds of #rainbow colours

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

I put a few theories in regarding #CyclonicStorms and transference along with #NoctilucentClouds and #PolarStratosphericClouds

Some might find .. fascinating .. others might find enlightening .. and maybe even .. both?

Along with the #VolcanicAcivity, those #NoctilucentClouds, said this for #PolarStratosphericClouds too, have increased as I predicted, now reported to have been seen in #Aberdeen in #Scotland

Long predicted #volcanoes and n particular a couple of big ones from #SubmarineVolcanoes and was attacked .. also predicted an increase in #NoctilucentClouds, #PolarStratosphericClouds and had wondered about #salt, no not lefties, in the #atmosphere ..

Season's Finale (2/2)
As winter leaves us in the Norwegian Arctic, some of this season’s highlights included #IceBubbles, #PolarStratosphericClouds, #Aurora and (in my poorly insulated house at least) #WindowFrost! ❄ ⛄

Lowlight was the lack of #Arctic #SeaIce: it's the lowest March extent on record

The image shows polar stratospheric clouds illuminated by moonlight. These rare clouds display soft, flowing bands of iridescent colors, including shades of orange, pink, purple, and blue, stretching across the dark night sky. Tiny, scattered stars are visible in the background, and a single bright celestial object stands out on the right side. The ethereal, wave-like patterns of the clouds create a dreamlike and otherworldly atmosphere.

In January I had the incredible fortune to observe #PolarStratosphericClouds, also known as #nacreous or #motherofpearl clouds, in the #nightsky in #Iceland. They were illuminated by the #moonlight and are rarer to observe than the #aurora.

Mother of pearl clouds or polar stratospheric clouds.
Formed high in the stratosphere at extreme cold temperatures. Composed of tiny ice crystals, they scatter sunlight before sunrise and after sunset, creating their signature iridescent glow.

Northern Lights... and polar stratospheric clouds illuminated by the moon in Finnish Lapland 🇫🇮. A Rare and very Precious Moment that I will never forget ❤️

Unforgettable moments under colorful polar stratospheric clouds 💫 Have you seen these highly shining clouds? ☁️✨ #polarstratosphericclouds #landscapephotography #lightphenomenon

Headed to Tahko after Kuopio & loved it. Even got to see #PolarStratosphericClouds! 🌈☁️

Can't wait to share the article about the trip with you!

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 ☀️.

Compared with last year, there has been a lot more #polarstratosphericclouds , these pictures are taken in the north of Sweden near Umeå. #sweden #clouds #weather #pearl

Tämä talvi on ollut #helmiäispilvet kannalta paras vuosikausiin. 18.1.2025 oli omalle kohdalle osuneista tämän talven upein. Sääli vaan, että kameraton kauteni jatkuu edelleen. Jotain tuohon älyynkin sai sentään tarttumaan.

A partially frozen body of water (Töölönlahti) at dusk. In the foreground are some dead reeds still standing. At the far side of the lahti are some villas, and behind that the top of some of the rides at Linnanmäki amusement park are visible. There’s an almost iridescent-white cloud in the middle of the picture, whiter and better illuminated than the surrounding sky.

What I think is a polar stratospheric cloud (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_stratospheric... seen over Linnanmäki this afternoon.

Once again, #PolarStratosphericClouds have made an appearance, this time in #Iceland and somewhat impressive

Known as #MotherOfPearlClouds, these are all the colours of a rainbow due to them being ice crystals that form in the #stratosphere

Video I made last year of the same phenomenon. Only difference is that the sun had set. This is also just outside my home. #photography #videography #polarstratosphericclouds #norway #winter #norwegianwinter

I woke up to these amazing polar stratospheric clouds above my home again. #photography #sky #clouds #polarstratosphericclouds #norway #winter

Delaying my ride to work this morning because of this 😍 #polarstratosphericclouds

Rare Polar Stratospheric Clouds outbreak observed over the Arctic An outbreak of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), also known as nacreous clouds, has been observed over the Arctic since December 9, approximately one month earlier than the typical season…

Along with an increase in #NoctilucentClouds, #SuddenStratosphericWarming Events and #VolcanicActivity, I also predicted an increase in #PolarStratosphericClouds
