Polar stratospheric ice clouds (naked clouds) form at temperatures below the ice sublimation point, usually around −85 °C, a temperature lower than the average temperature of the lower stratosphere.'
#AURORAS AND THE 'DEVIL COMET': If you want to photograph a beautiful #comet, this is the week to do it. For the next 7+ days, "devil comet" 12P/Pons-Brooks will pop out of the twilight after sunset, its magnificent tail pointing up into the night sky. Michal Kaluzny sends this picture from the Solheimajokull glacier lagoon in #Iceland:
"Fortunately, the auroras weren't too strong, allowing for the delicate tail of the comet to be exposed," says Kaluzny. Also in Iceland, Wioleta Gorecka photographed the comet emerging from a bright green curtain of Northern Lights.
You don't need to be in Iceland to photograph this comet. It's visible around the world, shining like a 5th magnitude star in the constellation Aries. Technically, it's bright enough to see with the naked eye, but in practice you'll need binoculars or a small telescope to pull it out of the western twilight. Cameras with night sky settings should have no trouble recording the comet's tail in wide-angle landscape shot
"That's no sunset ..."
Well, I thought it was when my son sent it to me from #Iceland today, and then I joked that it might be a new #volcano.
It is, actually, light from a new volcano in the #Reykjanes Peninsula, where all the other action has been.
The son is living (for grad school) on the north side of #Reykjavik (about 25 mi. north of #Grindavík and he said the light in the sky was visible from his apartment. He and his room mate went down to the beach to get a clearer picture.
