Russian volcano cloud over London

[nytecam]

SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids is currently reporting the cloud from the Russian volcano in the Pacific is streading around the northern hemisphere and I've noticed the dusky red sunsets of late and very red gibbous moon the night before last.

This early morning, after a bathroom 'break', I witness this horizontally streaked northern sky from the bedroom window 90 min before sunup - enhanced in the photo with an 'edge-filter'. The 2nd photo shows an enlargement above the central tree and close wavy bands.

Anyone else notice unusual twilit skies of late?
ps: seen no blue noctilucent clouds at 80km now for fortnight but this a fair substitute

I didn't realise that the Russians had a volcano in the Pacific !! Or that it had 'gone off'.

Would these effects be seen further north of London ?

Beautiful pics, nytecam. I presume this is the same volcano that punctured a hole in the clouds some days ago.....Sarychev in the Kuril Islands?

London is north of me so the cloud 'appears' over London but the cloud reported throughout Europe and USA at dusk and dawn above the horizon were the sun is eg fairly universal - see the eurosat movie on spaceweather.com

Thanks nytecam.

Interesting. I commented on the colour of the moon to my family on Thursday evening as it was very orange. It was the same sort of colour I would expect to see from a harvest moon.

The purplish or lavender hue in the late dusk sky appears linked to the volcano cloud.

Here's a video clip of my recent dusk/dawn pics including noctilucent cloud [unrelated to volcano cloud] that I hope is of interest.
