nacreous cloud
A nacreous cloud, also known as a polar stratospheric cloud, is a type of cloud that forms in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000 to 25,000 meters. These clouds are typically very thin and often appear iridescent or shimmering, due to the light being diffracted through the tiny water droplets or ice crystals that make up the cloud. They are most frequently observed during civil twilight when the sun is between one and six degrees below the horizon.
