Auroras, a meteor. February 15, 2025.

Many nights in a row with auroras. A meteoroid disintegrated at about UTC 18.59, hence a bright meteor was imaged. Location: Ørsta, Norway. Details: 7.5mm fisheye-lens, Canon 650D.

This meteor was also captured by an AllSky7 camera (AMS135) I operate jointly with the Norwegian Meteor Network.

Polar stratospheric clouds. January 31, 2025.

According to NASA’s MERRA-2 climate model, the temparature in the stratosphere was sufficiently low (on January 31, 2025) to form Polar Stratospheric Clouds. In the western sky after Sunset there was something I reckon was PSC clouds. Location: Ørsta, Norway. Photo details: Canon 800D, Sigma 50-500mm lens.
