Earth's atmosphere and noctiluque clouds - Earth's atmosphere and noctilucent clouds - View of the Earth's atmosphere with night clouds photographs from the International Space Station on July 22, 2008. These clouds look like cirrus but are much higher, between 75 and 90 km from the Earth's surface. Polar Mesospheric Clouds (also known as noctilucent clouds) are transient, upper atmospheric phenomena observed usually in the summer months at high latitudes (greater than 50 degrees) of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are bright and cloudlike in appearance while in deep twilight. They are illuminated by sunlight when the lower layers of the atmosphere are in the darkness of the Earth's shadow. This image was acquired at an altitude of just over 200 miles in the pre - dawn hours of July 22, 2008 as the International Space Station was passing over western Mongolia in central Asia. The dark horizon of the Earth appears below with some layers of the lower atmosphere already i

Parhely - Sun dog - Parhelies are optical phenomena due to the interaction of solar light on ice crystals. Sundogs appear generally when the sun is low, and the atmosphere is filled with ice crystals forming cirrus clouds; they are caused by the refraction of sunlight passing through ice crystals

Neptune - Illustration - Neptune's Great Dark Spot - Illustration - Artist's view of Neptune with its ring system and large dark spot observed by the Voyager 2 probe in 1989. This is how Neptune's Great Dark Spot and rings may have looked in 1989 from a position just beneath Neptune's ring plane. The outermost Adams ring is near the top of the frame, and beneath that is the much broader and diffuse Lassell ring. Further in toward Neptune and abutting the Lassell ring is the thin Le Verrier ring, and beyond that is the diffuse Galle ring. The Great Dark Spot is believed to be a storm similar to, but only half the size of, Jupiter's Great Red Spot. While Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been raging for at least 400 years, subsequent observations of Neptune's Great Dark Spot in 1994 by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that this storm has since disappeared. The Great Dark Spot was a very dynamic weather system, generating massive, white clouds similar to high - altitude cirrus clouds on Ear

Lunar Halo - Lunar Halo - Lunar Halo. The ice crystals in the cirrus decompose the lunar light (in fact, the solar light reflected by the lunar surface) as small prisms and can give rise to a large coloured circle. Lunar halos are caused by moonlight being refracted by cirro - stratus clouds. These thin clouds are located very high in the atmosphere, and are composed of ice crystals. They bend light at a 22 degree angle, which creates a halo that is 44 degrees in diameter

Neptune - Voyager 2 - Image of the Great Dark Spot on Neptune obtained by the Voyager 2 probe on August 23, 1989. The Great Dark Spot is the size of the Earth and winds are blowing at 300 m/s. This spot has now disappeared but other dark spots have been detected since then. Date: 08/23/89 Range: 2.8 million km. (1.7 million miles) Smallest Resolvable Feature: 50 km or 31 miles This Voyager 2 image shows the last face on view of the Great Dark Spot that Voyager 2 will take with the narrow angle camera. It was made 45 hours before the closest approach to Neptune. the image shows feathery white clouds that overlie the boundary of the dark and light blue regions. the pinwheel (spiral) structure of both the dark boundary and the white cirrus suggest a storm system rotating counterclockwise. Periodic, small - scale patterns in the white clouds, possibly waves, are short - lived and do not persist from one Neptunian rotation to the next. This color composite was made from the clear and green

Neptune - Voyager 2 - Image of Neptune obtained by the Voyager 2 probe on August 14, 1989 at 14.8 million km from the planet. Neptune has an equatorial diameter of about 49,000 kilometres. Its blue color is due to the abundance of methane in its atmosphere. On this photo, on the right, the Great Dark Spot, which is the size of the Earth where winds are blowing at 300 m/s. This spot has now disappeared but other dark spots have been detected since then. This contrast enhanced color photograph of Neptune was produced from images taken through the orange, green, and violet filters of the narrow angle camera. As Voyager 2 approaches Neptune, rapidly increasing image resolution is revealing striking new details in the planet's atmosphere, and this picture shows features as small as a few hundred kilometers in extent. Bright, wispy “” cirrus - type”” clouds are seen overlying the Great Dark Spot (GDS) at its southern (lower) margin and over its northwest (upper left) boundary. This is the fi

Earth's atmosphere and night clouds - Earth's atmosphere, noctilucent clouds and Moon - View of the Earth's atmosphere and a crescent moon photographs from the International Space Station on July 27, 2003. Night clouds are also visible. These clouds look like cirrus but are much higher, between 75 and 90 km from the Earth's surface. Noctilucent clouds are very high clouds that look like cirrus clouds, but are much higher (75 - 90 km above the Earth's surface) than clouds that we observe every day. They are optically thin and can only be observed during twilight hours, when the sun is just below the horizon and only shines on the uppermost atmosphere. In this image, the limb of the Earth at the bottom transitions into the orange - colored troposphere, the lowest and most dense portion of the Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere ends abruptly at the tropopause, which appears in the image as the sharp boundary between the orange - and blue - colored atmosphere. The silvery - blue noctiluce

White cirrus clouds race across a crescent Neptune as it presides over Triton's bleak and frozen south polar region. Sheets of frozen nitrogen ice with traces of other substances, including frozen methane and carbon monoxide, overlie Triton's darker material. The ice has turned pink due to the interaction with ultraviolet light from the distant Sun. Further south all of the surface of Triton is covered by such ices

In this image the massive volcano Olympus Mons is clearly visible upper left of center, while near center are the three Tharsis Montes volcanoes. All these volcanoes are believed to be extinct. To the right of the Tharsis Montes are the deep canyons of Valles Marineris, a meandering network of channels as long as the United States is wide. Mars has been known historically as a bright, reddish “” star”” in Earth's sky. The ruddy hue is due to the presence of iron oxide (i.e., rust) on the martian surface. Mars is often host to white clouds of water - ice crystals (like the high - altitude cirrus clouds on Earth) and experiences seasonal dust storms that can cover the entire planet

Tropical Storm Sam, Eastern Indian Ocean, exact location unknown, was begining to decay when this photograph was taken. The storm was mostly at sea for its entire duration and had little effect on land. The eye of the storm is still visible with the gyre of swirling clouds rotating clockwise. Winds aloft have begun to shear the tops of the thunderstorms associated with the storm forming a high cirrus cloud cover over the center of the storm

Halo and Light Column- Ice halos near Zeel am See, Austria - A light column is created by the reflection of a light source on the horizontal faces of ice crystals. So it takes a fairly stable atmosphere to keep these crystals parallel to the horizon. Lunar halo. The ice crystals in the cirrus decompose the lunar light (in fact, the solar light reflected by the lunar surface) as small prisms and can give rise to a large coloured circle. A paraselene consists of light spots located on the left and right at the height of the Moon. Austria, January 2016. A light pillar is created by the reflection of light on the horizontal face of ice cristals. So, a quiet atmosphere is needed in order that this cristals stay parallel to the horizon. Lunar halos are caused by moonlight being refracted by cirro-stratus clouds. These thin clouds are located very high in the atmosphere, and are composed of ice crystals. They bend light at a 22 degree angle, which creates a halo that is 44 degrees in diameter

Condensation trains over Brittany - Airplane contrails over Brittany, France - A multitude of condensation trains caused by air traffic appear on this image obtained by the Terra satellite on 25 April 2004. This true - color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image, acquired on April 25, 2004 by the Terra satellite, shows a web of contrails over northwestern Europe. These contrails are straight lines of ice crystals that form in the wake of jet liners where air temperatures at altitude are lower than about 40* C. Newer contrails are thin whereas older trails have widened with time as a result of light winds. The problem with contrails is that they can spread into extensive high, thin cirrus clouds, which tend to warm the Earth because they reflect less sunlight back to space than the amount of heat they trap
