Would you like to come cloud watching with me?
We can while away the afternoon
Just to step out of time is all we need
Looking out for the other rule
Cos there’s no place
I’d rather be
There’s no one
I’d rather see
Would you like to come cloud watching with me?
We can watch the world roll on by
Dreaming up all the endless possibilities
Staring into the open sky
Would you like to come cloud watching with me?
We don’t have to talk at all
If we lie on our backs in the green green grass
I guarantee there’s no way to fall
Cos there’s no place
I’d rather be
And there’s no one
I’d rather see
And together watch the blues get blown away
Cos there are so many clouds in the sky today

As dawn breaks over North Texas, a wind turbine on the University of North Texas campus rises tall against the sky.
Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 m (49,000–82,000 ft). They are best observed during civil twilight, when the Sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon, as well as in winter and in more northerly latitudes.[1] One main type of PSC is made up mostly of supercooled droplets of water and nitric acid and is implicated in the formation of ozone holes.[2] The other main type consists only of ice crystals which are not harmful. This type of PSC is also referred to as nacreous (/ˈneɪkriəs/, from nacre, or mother of pearl, due to its iridescence).
