Details:
The Noctilucent Clouds (NLC) season 2024 is underway on the north of Earth. Caused by dust particles (containing meteor dust) and ice high in the mesosphere, they become visible only at dusk and dawn when scattering light of our sun located 6-16 degrees below the horizon. Yesterday, on 23 June 2024, I enjoyed this epic view over Záhradné, eastern Slovakia, when NLC appeared late that evening. They were very bright and colorful, the colors were visible even to the naked eyes. Such colorful NLCs are a sign of the specific sizes of particles they are made of and also about the large area of which part of the reddened sunlight is scattered only. Despite the high solar activity, which causes lesser NLCs appearance, this year’s NLCs season seems to be fantastic! Used Canon Ra, Sigma 50mm; panorama of 6 single 1/4s exposures, 1600 ISO.
