PIX4634021: Noctulescent clouds - Noctilucent clouds: July 6, 2016, Spicheren, France. These rare clouds are called noctilucent or “” night shining” as they seem to glow in the dark. They are caused by ice crystals at about 80 km altitude. These crystals reflect sunlight when the sun is well below the horizon. They are properly known as polar mesospheric clouds and are under intense study as it remains a mystery as to how they are formed. Date: July 6, 2016. Location: Spicheren, France / Bridgeman Images
PIX4634063: Hurricane Irma seen by satellite 09/2017 - Hurricane Irma 09/2017: Hurricane Irma on September 6, 2017. Image obtained by the American satellite GOES-16. GOES-16 captured this geocolor image of Hurricane Irma approaching Anguilla at about 7:15 am (eastern), September 6, 2017. Irma's maximum sustained winds remain near 185 mph with higher gusts, making it a category 5 hurricane on the Saffirm-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. This image, captured as daylight moves into the area, offers a blend of both, with nighttime features on the left side of the image and daytime on the right / Bridgeman Images
PIX4634712: Uranus and three satellites seen by Voyager 2 - Image obtained by the Voyager 2 probe in January 1986 showing the planet Uranus accompanied by the satellites Ariel (top right), Miranda (closest to the planet) and Umbriel (bottom left). This Voyager photograph of Uranus taken in january 1986 is a composite of for images taken by the narrow angle camera. At this range, clouds and other features in the atmosphere as small as 1,370 km. could be detected by Voyager 2. Yet, no such features are visible. This view is toward the illuminated south pole of Uranus. The predominant blue color is the result of atmospheric methane, which absorbs the red wavelengths from incoming sunlight. The spot at the upper left edge of the planet's disk reulted from the removal of a network mark used in making measurments on the photograph. Three of Uranus' five known satellites are visible; Miranda (at far right, closest to the planet), Ariel (next out, at top), and Umbriel (lower left). Titania and Oberon are now outside the narrow angle camera's field of view when it centered on the planet. This color composite was made from images taken through blue, green, orange, and clear filters / Bridgeman Images
