Re: The Noctilucent Clouds are Back!
The strange thing is that no astronomy book I read in the 1970s considered the phenomena common enough to mention. Today it features quite highly in the list of things to see in the sky. It is a welcome addition to the sky at a time when other observations are hard to find. I hope we get a lot of reports of new sightings this year.
