Aurora Borealis


I was walking my dog one night just before we went to sleeping, but I decided to filter some fresh air before I went to sleep and I noticed this faint glow in the sky and I wasn't sure if it was just clouds moving or was it Aurora Borealis

I grabbed my phone and took a picture and low and behold: It sure was Aurora Borealis. 


Even though I live in kind of a rural part of the county, but I have a street light right next to my house and I have LED-strings around my house and garage.


In both of these photos, you can observe the blueish coloring in the corner of the LED-strings.


Although those weren't so bright as the photos show, since human eye can't "extend exposure" to gather all the small hints of light in the sky, it is marvelous nightscape to look at.

Noctilucent clouds

Noctilucent clouds, or night shining clouds, are tenuous cloud-like phenomena in the upper atmosphere of Earth. They consist of ice crystals and are only visible during astronomical twilight. Noctilucent roughly means "night shining" in Latin. They are most often observed during the summer months from latitudes between ±50° and ±70°. Too faint to be seen in daylight, they are visible only when the observer and the lower layers of the atmosphere are in Earth's shadow, but while these very high clouds are still in sunlight. Recent studies suggest that increased atmospheric methane emissions produce additional water vapor once the methane molecules reach the mesosphere – creating, or reinforcing existing noctilucent clouds.

They are the highest clouds in Earth's atmosphere, located in the mesosphere at altitudes of around 76 to 85 km.

Long time from last time

This use to be my blog where IFTT posted what I posted on my now deleted Instagram with tag Sky is my canvas. Now I thought I just start to post straight to here when I encounter something worth while.

So here are few photos from past... I don't really know.


That's from February 2020. Nahkalinna's dam. 



Sun had just settled in, in November 2020.


Milkyway from "my backyard", which is roughly 100 meter away park from my own yard.
