This view doesn't look out of the ordinary - unless you know that it was taken just off the northernmost point of continental Europe, Norway's Cape Nordkinn at 71° North (from the Hurtigrurten's Kong Harald). May be useful for astronomy teaching by comparing the position angle between Venus und Jupiter with images taken around the same time - March 18 at 17:45 UTC (much) farther south.

We captured Venus and Jupiter setting in our WSW skies at 6:49pm CST when the two planets were just under 4 degrees, or 4.763 astronomical units (AU) apart.

I can't call it a cloud, but it looks like one. So far, astronomers are unable to explain exactly what this is, but here is a green-light animation of a feature I imaged on Mars on the evening of March 19th (March 20th UT).

and here's an RGB image taken with the feature...

Hola dupko. Son condiciones atmosféricas ordinarias, aunque no sé por qué se producen (como no sé por qué se produce casi nada de lo que me rodea, por eso hago fotografías). Quizás sea por la densidad de las nubes, la altura.. Saludos.

Hello dupko. They are ordinary atmospheric conditions, but do not know why they occur (as I do not know why there is almost nothing around me, so I make pictures). Perhaps because of the cloud density, height .. Greetings.
