Details:
Bluish skies over Seč lake, Czech Republic, are caused by moonlight. Strange clouds crossing the skies like spider nets are the Noctilucent Clouds, caused by ice crystals on particles of meteoric dust about 85 km high in the atmosphere. This dust often comes from a comets’ tails as product of evaporatioin of their nuclei. And here we are – both phenomena can be seen on one image as bright comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) is on the left, rising in the glory of morning dawn. Canon 6D, Pentacon 135mm, f2.8, ISO 640, 2s exposure.
