Operating military vehicles is just one of my
hobbies. Since childhood, I've also been interested in astronomy, getting my
first decent telescope in 2012. I built a small observatory at my old house
and I'm waiting to start work on a larger one at the new house. So I'm often
on the lookout for astro related happenings and in the Summer months, that is
often Noctilucent Clouds. I think the word comes from the translation of the
German words, which translate to night shining clouds. These electric blue
clouds form
right at the edge of space, when ice crystals form on tiny particles of meteor
smoke, floating at 250,000 to 280,000 feet altitude. I got a heads up on
my local astronomy Facebook page and went out to see. After a few shots of the
clouds alone, I decided to go a bit more 'arty' and compose the Dodge into
some of the shots.
