Hi,   Currently in the North West there is another display of these NLCs. These clouds are at an altitude of 76-85km. If you are reading this tonight have a look as they are fairly rare. The link below from John shows what you what they look like.   Simon --- On Thu, 18/6/09, john hendry <napier58@hotmail. com> wrote: From: john hendry <napier58@hotmail. com> Subject: RE: [newcastle_astro] Fw: Electric-blue Clouds Sweep Across Europe To: "Newcastle YahooGroup" <newcastle_astro@ yahoogroups. com> Date: Thursday, 18 June, 2009, 9:41 PM Thanks Simon, it is just a pity I had to use the neighbour's houses as street lamp shields.

Sightings were made in Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland and the British Isles. These mysterious clouds are known to flourish during years of solar minimum--and 2009 is such a year.  This means more NLCs may be in the offing, not only over Europe but also North America and elsewhere.

Where have all the sunspots gone? Scientists studying a jet stream deep inside the sun may have found the answer. Find the full story at http://spaceweather .com.
