This marks the beginning of the 2016 season for noctilucent clouds. Seeded by meteoroids, icy noctilucent clouds form at the edge of space where they can be seen shining in the night sky. Each year, their first detection by spacecraft is usually quickly followed by ground-based sightings. Indeed, a photographer in North Wales spotted some this morning.
