Al-Jazeera: US announces multinational force to protect Red Sea shipping after attacks

— US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has announced the formation of a coalition – including #Bahrain, #Canada, #France, #Italy, the #Netherlands, #Norway, the #Seychelles, Spain and the #UK – to patrol the Red Sea in response to #Houthi attacks on commercial shipping.

A Houthi official says the Yemeni rebel group will confront any such force.

PS. Spain has already said that they have never agreed to be part of this "coalition"
PSS. What the hell can Seychelles contribute here?

For the third day in a row, #Arctic #sky watchers are reporting a widespread outbreak of #polar #stratospheric #clouds. "The colors are spectacular," says Ramune Sapailaite, who photographed the display over Gran, #Norway:

"The clouds were visible in the sky all day, but the #colors really exploded just before #sunset," says Sapailaite. "I took these pictures using my cellphone."

Widely considered to be the most beautiful clouds on Earth, polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are rare. Earth's stratosphere is very dry and, normally, it has no clouds at all. PSCs form when the temperature in the Arctic stratosphere drops to a staggeringly-low -85 C. Then, and only then, can widely-spaced water molecules begin to coalesce into tiny ice crystals. High-altitude sunlight shining through the crystals creates intense iridescent colors that rival auroras.

During a typical Arctic winter, PSCs appear no more than a handful of times, and the first sightings usually come in January. This week's apparition marks an early start, and may herald many more PSCs to come.

#Auroras were observed as well -- "and they were INSANE," says Janne Maj Nagelsen, who watched the display from Stamnes, Vaksdal, #Norway:

"I have never seen such strong auroras," says Nagelsen. "Not to mention the colors. I mean look at the picture! They were totally, literally insane."

Auroras are caused by charged particles raining from space down upon Earth's atmosphere. Unlike SAR arcs, which are pure red, auroras can have a rich and stunning variety of colors. Both phenomena may be photographed on Dec. 1, 2023, when a #Cannibal #CME is #expected to hit #Earth.
