The girl, planetary duo and the Noctilucent clouds

The „Noctilucent fever“ around the north polar circle is underway and lot of people around the northern world are seeking the NLCs as much as they can. Freezing beauty of the NLCs is just incredible in every time of their sighting. In the moment of the evening 28th June 2015, my sister was sitting on the beach of the Sec reservoir (the Czech Republic) as the planetary duo Venus-Jupiter was slowly moving over the western horizon and the Moon moved up behind her shoulder with its strong moonlit. Just when the night came over, we both witnessed stunning display of the NLCs too. The incredible view lasted almost a hour. Great experience, indeed. Especially for my sister who saw the NLCs first time in her life.
