Whoa, caught this insane nacreous cloud show over Provo, Utah tonight! 🌌❄️ These polar stratospheric beauties are iridescent rainbows from tiny ice crystals diffracting sunset light at crazy high altitudes. 😍 #NacreousClouds #UtahSkies #SkyMagic #PolarStratosphericClouds

#nacreousclouds in the top right maybe? I don’t know if it was just a lens effect. This was on a chilly day in April so it’s possible.

On Jan 12, 2025, rare nacreous clouds, also known as mother-of-pearl clouds, graced the skies over northern Sweden. These stunning clouds form in the polar stratosphere, where ice crystals form in extremely cold conditions.

An incredible sky over a frozen lake near Suvanto in Finland 🇫🇮. Polar stratospheric clouds were just starting to appear during sunrise ☀️.

📸 Photo taken with a Xiaomi 14.

The pearly clouds were so pretty today, too bad I only had a crappy phone camera!

I captured this stunning view of nacreous clouds (pearl clouds) on December 11th but forgot to share it! These rare clouds shimmer in vibrant colors and appear in the polar skies during winter. Nature’s art at its finest! 🌌 not a professional photographer! #NacreousClouds #SkyBeauty

Memories of these stunning nacreous clouds over Portmarnock and the Howth Peninsula on this day last year. Quite rare to see them. The word Nacreous is derived from the old English word “Nacre” which means “mother of Pearl”

A year ago today I was fortunate enough to capture a stunning display of Nacreous clouds (Mother-Of-Pearl)

Everyone in Umeå took a photo of this polar stratospheric cloud this morning. Here it is near my house. I've seen photos of the cloud from every angle and every neighborhood in Umeå today! I like the house and rising sun giving context to the image here.
