Summary[edit]

Description

This impressive display of electric-blue-white noctilucent clouds was observed over Ørsta, Norway, in the early hours of August 4, 2015. These polar mesospheric clouds take shape 30 to 55 mi (50 to 87 km) above the Earth’s surface as water vapor condenses around small particles that are thought to be of meteoric origin. The photograph was taken by Geir T. B. Øye. This image and text was first posted by Earth Science Picture of the Day.
