PIX4669111: Dial of the Tower of the Clock - Auxerre - Clock on the clock tower in Auxerre - Clock with dials of the Tower of the Clock in Auxerre. This public clock was built in 1469 by a master watchmaker named Jean. It operated until 1812. The present mechanism dates back to 1817. The clock consists of two identical dials, one to the east (photo), the other to the west. The dials are divided into 24 hours: from noon to midnight, and from midnight to noon. A needle on which the Sun is depicted indicates the hours of the day. The second hand carries a globe with half black and half gold. This globe indicates the phases of the Moon. This needle indicates the lunar day, which is 24h49min. The stars pass to the Meridian (towards the south) when their image is at the top of the dial, on the number XII.

PIX4671634: Noctulescent clouds - Noctilucent clouds - Noctilucent clouds, very high altitude clouds, photographs in July 2009 in Russia. 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. Image taken in july 2009 in Russia / Bridgeman Images

PIX4671692: Halo around the Moon - Lunar Halo - This halo is due to the light of the Moon reflected by high-altitude clouds, cirrostratus, composed of ice crystals. They bend the light and cause a perfect circle around the Moon. This 22-degree lunar halo is quite contrasting and colourful, although the Moon is not Full (three days after the Full Moon). October 2, 2004. 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. This 22 degrees lunar halo is rather contrasted, although the Moon was not Full (three days after the full moon). 2 October 2004 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4671727: Halo around the Moon - Lunar Halo - Halo around the Moon observes a few hours before the full Moon on January 10, 2009. The paper pencil-shaped ice crystals present in the cirrus form the lunar light (in fact, the solar light reflected by the lunar surface) as small prisms and can give birth to this large coloured circle (red inside and blue outside). 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. January 10 2009 / Bridgeman Images
