Polar mesospheric clouds over the Southern Hemisphere

January 30, 2010 - Polar mesospheric clouds over the Southern Hemisphere. These clouds occur over the high latitudes of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres during their respective summer months at very high altitudes (approximately 76 to 85 kilometers, or 47 to 53 miles). They are most visible during twilight, when the clouds are still illuminated by the setting Sun, while the ground is already dark.
Polar mesospheric clouds are also known as noctilucent or night-shining clouds. The clouds exhibit thin, wispy light blue forms that contrast with the darkness of space (image upper right). Lower levels of the clouds are more strongly illuminated by the Sun and appear light orange to white. Clouds closest to the Earthas surface are reddish-orange (image center)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ethereal beauty of polar mesospheric clouds over the Southern Hemisphere. Taken on January 30,2010, these mesmerizing clouds can be seen in high latitudes during the summer months at extreme altitudes ranging from 76 to 85 kilometers (47 to 53 miles). Illuminated by the setting sun during twilight, these noctilucent or night-shining clouds create a breathtaking contrast against the dark expanse of space. The wispy light blue forms of these clouds stand out against the blackness and are most visible when viewed from space. The lower levels of the clouds appear light orange to white as they are more strongly illuminated by the sun. Closest to Earth's surface, they take on a reddish-orange hue. This image showcases not only a rare atmospheric phenomenon but also highlights nature's ability to create awe-inspiring sights. With no people present in this outdoor scene, it allows us to appreciate the sheer magnitude and beauty of our planet from afar. Captured with precision and artistry by Stocktrek Images, this color photograph is a testament to their expertise in capturing natural wonders.
