Details:
A rare color in noctilucent clouds. last night, during noctilucent cloud displays in Poland, I saw rare colors at the tops of the clouds. Noctilucent clouds are typically characterized by dazzling white, electric blue, or silver. Around midnight, an interesting effect was visible – a striking purple corona formed at the top of the cloud, which lasted only a short time. What causes these colors? Maybe it's ozone—or rather, lack thereof, or iron atoms from meteor dust.
