We've reached that point in the summer when it's time to hunt for the first, for the moment, likely weak noctilucent clouds.

Forming at 82km, clouds of ice coating nanometere-sized meteoric debris catch the sun that is well below the local horizon.

Try between 02:15 and 03BST, looking N to NE. Shift earlier by a few minutes up to the solstice. Binoculars are useful at this early stage.

This beautiful display of noctilucent clouds called for a good foreground. I was frantically riding my bike, searching for something I could use, when I rode past this windmill. Using it as a silhouette was a no-brainer. I'm really happy with this result.

#TraditionalOwners in Katherine and #Ngukurr regions threaten legal action over #GasExploration deal

TRADITIONAL owners in the Katherine and Ngukurr regions are threatening legal action to halt a historic and much-heralded gas exploration deal involving #GinaRinehart’s #mining companies

"TRADITIONAL owners in the #KatherineNT and Ngukurr regions are threatening legal action to halt a historic and much-heralded gas exploration deal involving Gina Rinehart’s mining companies.

"The NT News can reveal traditional owners from the #Alawa, #Kelweyi and #Mangarrayi land trusts will today use a scheduled #NorthernLandCouncil meeting to demand a review of the agreement and accuse the #NLC of failing to properly consult.

"NLC chief executive #JoeMorrison rejected the accusation as the work of #environmentalists fostering a 'rising tide of confusion' among traditional owners.

"The exploration deal for Hancock Prospecting’s #JacarandaMinerals and #MineralsAustralia over more than 6500sq km of #Aboriginal-owned land in the #McArthurBasin was announced in March last year as the first gas exploration permit on NLC-managed Aboriginal land.

"It was promoted by the NT Government as a win for jobs and the economy, and as a breakthrough in co-operation between traditional owners, mining companies, government and the NLC. But traditional owners soon after began calls for a review of the consultation and demanded copies of the deal they signed.

"'We are in agreement that the process and risks of onshore #ShaleGas #fracking and the scope of work plan was not explained to us. We believe there has been a failure to undertake proper consultation,' read the most recent of several letters signed by traditional owners and sent to the NLC and Chief Minister Adam Giles since April last year.

"Northern Territory #FrackFreeAlliance spokeswoman Lauren Mellor said traditional owners and members of the land trusts were refused copies of the agreement."

Here's another beautiful pic of noctilucent clouds from Germany by our own Daniel Fischer @cosmos4u

The spectacular #NLC over Bochum, Germany, last evening in 95 timesteps: facebook.com/media/set/?vanity. And a selection from this: facebook.com/groups/leuchtende. (While NLC remained visible even at true midnight - foto-webcam.eu/webcam/ettelsbe - at my latitude nothing of interest followed in the morning.)

#ThrowbackThursday - June 2022 when - getting up at 3AM- I captured these Noctilucent or nightshining clouds in the #Seattle area #Washington. They look like ocean in the sky. Rare #phenomena at my latitude; NLCs form in the upper atmosphere, composed of ice crystals and meteor dust.

Night shining clouds over evergreens, silvery blue, waive looking clouds in the upper atmosphere, like ocean in the sky; composed of ice crystals and meteor dust, this phenomena occurs in higher altitudes, than any other cloud forms. At my 47 latitude we can view it at the beginning of summer about 2 hours after sunset or 2 hours before sunrise. Taken in Bellevue, WA by EZ Lorenz Imagery in June 2022

Noctilucent -night shining- clouds are the highest clouds in the atmosphere, 83 km (50mi) and are observed slightly below the mesopause in summertime. They’re only visible at latitudes between 45-80 degrees N and S. At my 47 degrees I’ve seen them only 2-3 times a season. This was taken in June at 4AM in #Bellevue, #WashingtonState, in the #Seattle area #PNW.
