Lighteffects in the Atmosphere
Dutch version

This part of the site is directed to lighteffects in earth atmosphere. Here you see the beatifull lighteffects caused by volcanic dust in the stratosphere or lighteffects by very fine crystilline polar snow. Or the silverlight glow of noctilucent clouds which, however, are only visible in may, june and july. And pay attention to the aurora borealis or northern lights which will become more important in the years to come as the next solar cycle heats up. And at last of this block we show you the remarkable experience of a total moon and certainly a total sun eclips.
