<ul><li>The Space Cloud Watch project is calling for photos and observations of noctilucent or night-shining clouds, which glow with a blue silvery hue at dusk or dawn.</li><li>These rare high-altitude clouds are typically found near the poles but are now being seen at mid- and low latitudes, prompting scientists to study how human activities may impact the atmosphere.</li><li>By submitting photos and observations of these clouds, individuals can contribute to understanding why noctilucent clouds are appearing in new locations where temperatures are usually too warm for their formation.</li><li>The collected data will be used in conjunction with satellite data and model simulations to analyze these phenomena, with opportunities for volunteers to assist in examining and identifying cloud structures.</li></ul>
