My first decent catch of noctilucent clouds for 2023, in the early hours of this morning. There was fair bit of haze around, giving the orange horizon and the Moon, just past full, add a little to the sky brightness.
Noctilucent clouds are formed from ice particles at ~80km altitudes in the polar regions. They are only seen around the summer solstice as the Sun illuminates them from below the observer's horizon.
Meanwhile the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank continues to observe objects much further out in space!

This was taken on the way back from Portland, OR along the Columbia River Gorge in the Fall of 2009. Yes, I was stopped by the clouds.

Lenticular cloud on top of a rapidly developing cumulonimbus cloud.
This was a really localized storm. I saw nothing but sun from my apartment but the street and my car two blocks north were both wet.
I was lucky enough to witness a stunning cloud inversion yesterday morning, after walking up Loughrigg Fell overlooking Windermere. What a gorgeous morning, with just the tops if the tallest trees poking through the mist.
