Nature serves a double part of the sky in Alberta, Canada, on June 9.
Aurora Chaser and Harlan Thomas photographer (@Theuroraguuy) about 18.5 miles (30 miles[30 km]north of Calgary in a rural rural he called “the twisted pond road” when the surprise show of two Northern lights and noctilucent clouds (NLCS) are brought to heaven.
“It was very nice to see Aurora, because there were no data geomagnetic conditions,” Thomas told the space.com in an email. “More surprised to see the NLCS, because they need to overcome wildfire smoke from the northwest and a waxing bonbous month full of 84% full.”
NLCS The highest cloud of land, showing as thin wispy blue or silver drained about 47 to 53 miles (76 to 85 km) above the surface of the planet’s surface. They make summer when water vapor stimulates mesinfphere and crystal around meteoric dust. Their gentle glow will always be seen from high latitudes shortly after sunset or before sunrise.
“There’s nothing like seeing Aurora Borealis and Noctilucent Clouds at the same time,” Thomas told Spaceweather.com. “This is the perfect combination.”
Thomas got the scene using a Nikon D810 camera with 50mm lens, shooting 1/30-second ISO 3200 exposures with a second stimulation and another image.
It was surprised that it wasn’t the first time Thomas had witnessed such a scene. By 2020, he didn’t just get NLCS and Aurora but also comet!
“On July 14, 2020, in the highest of Covid, I got NLC, Neowise (Comet) and Aurora,” Thomas told Space.com.
Talk about the right place at the right time!
the NLC time Generally lasts until August, so Skywatchers in Northern Latitudes can still find their own view of this wonderful duo.
