The cabin weekend served up some great nacreous cloud shows at the end of the day. On Saturday, the clouds were clearly at their best. Nice to watch after a long period of low clouds, and anyway, the hobby has become too much of a break.

As the sun sank lower, a type one cloud line began to stand out in the sky. The whole day's glow in the direction of the sun was such that it was easy to wait for something to see in the afternoon. Observational photo taken a little after five. When I got home from the store before six, the brown looked even better.

For more than an hour, I followed the moderately pretty pearls in the nicely rustling evening sky. The pearls were accompanied by twilight rays that stole the show. At the end of the show, there was a beautiful purple light in the sky. photos 16.21, 17.01, 17.13, 17.31

Pearl clouds

14.2.2023 at 15.15 - 20.30 - Laitila (IV)
Pirjo Koski, Porin Karhunvartijat

In the afternoon, the first type I nacre clouds were visible in the three countries. I threw a couple of noises into the ether and I decided to go and look for a possible future mother-of-pearl brown. I drove straight to Salon to see the situation. For once, the location selection was successful, but now we would need visibility to the surroundings... Pearls were visible to some extent, the weather on earth was mild, it was the first proper spring evening. I was describing mother-of-pearl and the beginning of brown, when I got to witness something absolutely incredible. From the horizon rose t...

Pirjo Koski, Porin Karhunvartijat

I went to take a look a little before half past five in the direction of the west. The fibers that looked like pearls turned out to be pearls and from then on the pearl alarm was on. It was an absolutely insane show again. Nacres like and looking like luminous night clouds spread across the sky to the west, in fact it was probably a big nacreous cloud that was visible to us in Laitila. At first, there were familiar, silver-colored and shimmering clouds in the sky, i.e. class I pearls. As the sun went down, the scale of the play was revealed. Pearls were ⅜ from heaven. After the sun went down, ...

Toni Veikkolainen, Keski-Uudenmaan Altair

Ursa's solar system meeting had returned to Tähtikallio after the corona break. At the beginning of the last presentation of the day, I overheard a comment that pearly clouds could be seen in the sky. When I got to the observation deck, there were still some scraps of pearly brown left. However, pearls of the first type could be seen very well. As dusk deepened, their contrast with the background improved, but at the same time they sank so low that I moved near the doorway of the second tower to photograph. Of the planets, Venus and Jupiter shone brightly, and the first mentioned also got ...

Timo Nevala, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Fifth day of the pearl tube. You could see from the sky even before sunset that the pipeline would continue. The thick low clouds just pushed in front so that you couldn't see the pearls properly. But yes, they were there today too, the sharpened 2nd and 3rd pictures show it. After 6 p.m., the pearly brown glowed strikingly bright behind the low clouds, picture 1.

Beautiful yellow clouds. Around 18 o'clock, resistance was visible again. Apparently a common phenomenon, although I myself have not noticed reports of this phenomenon in previous years.

Heikki Lehto, Turun Ursa

while sitting in the place of the scarecrow, I noticed a very impressive cloud of pearls. I took the picture through the windshield. I forgot about the camera until today when I looked at the pictures I took. That's why it's a little late. Daylight saving time ready on camera.

Those were great pearls! They looked almost like illuminating night clouds. As the sun went down, there was also a very beautiful rustling. The picture was taken through the workplace window.

Here is today's harvest of pearls. The pearl tube has been on for the fourth day already. This time, a few pastel-colored water ice pearls were also visible among the white acid pearls. The pearly brown was strong.
