http://spaceweather.comSTRANGE CLOUDS: Sky watchers around the Arctic Circle
are reporting an outbreak of rare Polar Stratospheric
Clouds--super-colorful clouds that sometimes form in the ozone layer
above the North Pole. Almost simultaneously, NASA's AIM spacecraft is
seeing electric-blue noctilucent clouds floating over the South Pole.
The simultaneous apparition of these strange clouds, poles apart, may be
a complete coincidence--or not. Visit

GEMINIDS PHOTOGRAPHED FROM THE STRATOSPHERE:
When the Geminid meteor shower peaked earlier this week, a snowstorm
was in progress over the mountains of central California. Using a
helium balloon, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus launched a
low-light camera to photograph the shower high above the obscuring
clouds. To see what Geminids look like from the stratosphere, please
