Over Barnaul rare noctilucent clouds

Residents of Barnaul witnessed a unique and rare phenomenon.

The sky was a silvery translucent mesospheric clouds. July 16, over Barnaul appeared clouds of silvery color, which scientists call mesospheric. Mean cloud-like translucent, shimmer, and take the form of scallops. A phenomenon a bit like the Northern lights.

Experts note that to see the unusual phenomenon appears to be not for everyone, as it's very rare, but in the Altai territory this year mesospheric clouds should appear at least once. More likely to notice them in the evening. Mesospheric clouds are at high altitude from the earth's surface, far above the average. The rays of the sun reflected in the mini-water crystals, thereby creating a beautiful cloud flickering across the sky.
