Today in Oslo 😊. Polar Stratospheric clouds also known as nacreous clouds nasa.gov/image-article/… #nacreousclouds #polarstratosphericclouds

My first time seeing #Nacreousclouds just now, over Northamptonshire. I cannot get over what I’ve just seen.💨🌈✨

Nacreous clouds over the Thames Estuary, Southend-on-Sea. Can't say I've ever seen such an incredible natural occurance in the 37 years I've been on this planet. #nacreousclouds #southend

Final photo ot the #Nacreousclouds from this morning over Marbury. The sun was rising and it just lit them up beautifully. In a world of war and greed wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone just stopped and appreciated what a wonderful planet we live on.

The last sunset before this year's winter solstice, seen from my studio in Gilling East. #Nacreousclouds

Amazing sighting of #Nacreousclouds just north of Ripon in North Yorkshire. Proper otherworldly!

A rare phenomenon over Doddington at dusk. These iridescent clouds are called #NacreousClouds in meteorological terms & take on a ’mother-of-pearl’ appearance 🌈✨

Did you spot this incredible sight in the sky today?

We couldn’t believe our eyes 🌈✨

#NacreousClouds are an extremely rare sight in Britain - they occur at about 70,000 to 100,000 feet above the earth’s surface in the stratosphere.

Tiny ice crystals act like prisms refracting & reflecting the light to produce cloud iridescence.

More Nacreous clouds this evening over a lone tree at Rutland Water. You can see why they get the name Rainbow clouds and Mother of Pearl. #Rutland #Nacreousclouds #rainbowclouds
