On May 22, NASA's AIM spacecraft detected the first silvery clouds above the Arctic Circle this season. Since then, they have been circling around the North Pole and are getting stronger.

Pilot Zach Alcantar captured them from the cockpit window on June 7.

Due to physical, geographical and astronomical factors, it is possible to observe silvery clouds from the Earth only in the middle latitudes between 43 ° and 60 °, at dusk, 30-60 minutes after sunset, and the same time before sunrise, when the luminary is 6-16 ° below the horizon.
