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.

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...

The two prominent planets Venus and Jupiter already shine brightly in the evening sky, while the stars slowly appear in the darkening sky over the alpine foothills.

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.

Hi. I made these Images on 8th March about 18:35 o'clock in Berlin, Germany.

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.

Here's an image of Mars from 17 March 0325ut (the evening of March 16) taken under excellent seeing and showing a very interesting orographic cloud over Olympus Mons. The peak of the great volcano is peaking out of the clouds and the base of the great shield dome is outlined as well. The Tharsis region is just disappearing over the setting limb.

More of my images are at http://exosky.net
